The Law of Moses defined exactly what was to be the priest’s portion of every peace offering Leviticus 7:31, as it also gave express directions about the burning of the fat Leviticus 7:23, Leviticus 7:31.

Incidental evidence is afforded by this passage to the existence of the Levitical law at this time.
