Exegesis
The preposition me'et {מֵאֵת | mĕ-ʼét} appears twice to identify sources: ha'am {הָעָם | hā-ʿám} and zovchey hazevach {זֹבְחֵי הַזֶּבַח | zōw-ḥê ha-zě-vaḥ}, forming a genitive construct.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:3
And this shall be the prescribed portion for the priests from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: they shall give to the priest the foreleg, the two cheeks , and the stomach.
