Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded to do.”

Or if the raw flesh turns again and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest,

His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the Lord.
