Context of Numbers 18:13

11This also is yours: the gift of the wave offerings of Bnei-Yisrael. I have given all the wave offerings as a permanent share to you, your sons and your daughters. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it. 12All the finest olive oil, the finest new wine and grain they give to Adonai from their firstfruits, I have given them to you. All the firstfruits of the land that they bring to Adonai will be for yours. Anyone who is clean in your house may eat it. 14Every devoted thing in Israel is yours. 15The first offspring of the womb from all flesh, whether human or animal, offered to Adonai, is yours. However, you are to redeem the firstborn of man and the firstborn of unclean animals.
