Numbers 18:8-19
8Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I Myself have given you charge of My 12offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual allotment.
9This shall be yours from the most holy gifts reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, even 3every grain offering and every 4sin offering and every guilt offering, which they shall render to Me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
10As the most holy gifts you shall eat it; every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.
11This also is yours, 5the offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel; I have 6given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual allotment. Everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.
127All the 8best of the fresh oil and all the 9best of the fresh wine and of the grain, the first fruits of those which they give to the Lord, I give them to you.
1310The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours; everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.
1411Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.
151213Every first issue of the womb of all flesh, whether man or animal, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; nevertheless the firstborn of man you shall surely redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.
16As to their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your valuation, five 14shekels in silver, according to the 15shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
17But 16the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. 17You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the Lord.
18Their 18meat shall be yours; it shall be yours like the 19breast of a wave offering and like the right thigh.
1920All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetual allotment. It is 21an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord to you and your 22descendants with you.”
