וְזֶ֡ה יִהְיֶה֩ מִשְׁפַּ֨ט הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים מֵאֵ֣ת הָעָ֗ם מֵאֵ֛ת זֹבְחֵ֥י הַזֶּ֖בַח אִם־שׁ֣וֹר אִם־שֶׂ֑ה וְנָתַן֙ לַכֹּהֵ֔ן הַזְּרֹ֥עַ וְהַלְּחָיַ֖יִם וְהַקֵּבָֽה׃
And this shall be the due of the kohanim from the people, from those who slaughter the sacrifice, whether ox or sheep: he shall give the kohen the foreleg, the jaws, and the maw.

Sefaria — Chullin 134b
Core Text of Chazal
Core Text
וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן – וְלֹא לְאִשְׁתּוֹ וְלֹא לְעַבְדּוֹ.
English: ‘And he shall give to the kohen’ – and not to his wife or to his servant.
On the daf / in context: The gifts must be given to a kohen himself, not to non-kohen members of his household in a way that bypasses the mitzvah.
Type of Learning
Derash on the proper recipient (Bavli) — the transfer must reach a kohen.
What Is Learned
The three gifts must be transferred to a kohen; giving them only to a non-kohen member of a kohen’s household does not fulfill the mitzvah.
