Numbers 18:8-19
8Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I Myself have put you in charge of My 12offerings, all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given to you as a portion and to your sons as a permanent allotment.
9This shall be yours from the most holy gifts reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, namely 3every grain offering, every 4sin offering, and every guilt offering, with which they shall make restitution 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, that is, 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 permanent 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 what they give to the Lord, I have given 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.
1411Everything banned from secular use in Israel shall be yours.
151213Every firstborn of the womb of all flesh, whether human or animal, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; however you must redeem the human firstborn, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.
16As to 14their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your assessment, five 15shekels in silver by the 16shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
17But 17the firstborn of an ox, the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. 18You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the Lord.
18However, their 19meat shall be yours; it shall be yours like the 20breast of a wave offering and like the right thigh.
1921All 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 permanent allotment. It is 22a permanent covenant of salt before the Lord to you and your 23descendants with you.”
