Ephesians 2:11-12
So, then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh— called“ the uncircumcised” by those called“ the circumcised,” which is done in the flesh by human hands.At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

2 Corinthians 11 18-2 Corinthians 11 22
Since many boast according to the flesh, I will also boast.For you, being so wise, gladly put up with fools!In fact, you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone is arrogant toward you, if someone slaps you in the face.I say this to our shame: We have been too weak for that! But in whatever anyone dares to boast— I am talking foolishly— I also dare:Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the descendants of Abraham? So am I.

The women answered,“ Yes, he is ahead of you. Hurry, he just now entered the city, because there’s a sacrifice for the people at the high place today.As soon as you enter the city, you will find him before he goes to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he comes because he must bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests can eat. Go up immediately— you can find him now.”

Leviticus 3:3-5
He will present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a food offering to the LORD: the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat that is on the entrails,and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys.Aaron’s sons will burn it on the altar along with the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

1 Samuel 2 13-1 Samuel 2 16
or the priests’ share of the sacrifices from the people. When anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boilingand plunge it into the container, kettle, cauldron, or cooking pot. The priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is the way they treated all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.Even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the one who was sacrificing,“ Give the priest some meat to roast, because he won’t accept boiled meat from you— only raw.”If that person said to him,“ The fat must be burned first; then you can take whatever you want for yourself,” the servant would reply,“ No, I insist that you hand it over right now. If you don’t, I’ll take it by force!”

Leviticus 7:11-17
“ Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice that someone may present to the LORD:If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice, he is to present unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship.From the cakes he is to present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It will belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his.The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it; he may not leave any of it until morning.“ If the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day.But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned.

concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh

Romans 9:3-8
For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the benefit of my brothers and sisters, my own flesh and blood.They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.Now it is not as though the word of God has failed, because not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.Neither is it the case that all of Abraham’s children are his descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac.That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring.

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh—although I have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee;
