Context of Ezekiel 44:30

28“It will be an inheritance for them. I am their inheritance. Do not give them any possession in Israel for I am their possession. 29They will eat the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering. Every devoted thing in Israel will be theirs. The first of all the firstfruits of everything and every offering of every kind from all your offerings will belong to the ­kohanim. You will also give the kohen the first of your dough, to make a blessing to rest on your house. 31The kohanim may not eat any carcass, whether bird or beast, that dies of itself or is torn.”
