Numbers 18:7-17

⁷And you and your sons after you shall keep up your priestly ministration, according to the whole manner of the altar, and that which is within the veil; and you° shall minister in the services as the office of your priesthood; and the stranger that comes near shall die.

⁸And the Lord said to Aaron, And, behold, I have given you the charge of the first fruits of all things consecrated to me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to you as an honor, and to your sons after you for a perpetual ordinance.

⁹And let this be to you from all the holy things that are consecrated to me, even the burnt offerings, from all their gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every trespass-offering of theirs, and from all their sin-offerings, whatever things they give to me of all their holy things, they shall be your and your sons'.

¹⁰In the most holy place shall you° eat them; every male shall eat them, you and your sons: they shall be holy to you.

¹¹And this shall be to you of the first fruits of their gifts, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; to you have I given them and to your sons and your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance; every clean person in your house shall eat them.

¹²Every first-offering of oil, and every first-offering of wine, their first fruits of corn, whatever they may give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

¹³All the first fruits that are in their land, whatever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be your: every clean person in your house shall eat them.

¹⁴Every devoted thing among the children of Israel shall be your.

¹⁵And every thing that opens the womb of all flesh, whatever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be your: only the firstborn of men shall be surely redeemed, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean cattle.

¹⁶And the redemption of them shall be from a month old; their valuation of five shekels—it is twenty oboli according to the holy shekel.

¹⁷But you shall not redeem the firstborn of calves and the firstborn of sheep and the firstborn of goats; they are holy: and you shall pour their blood upon the altar, and you shall offer the fat as a burnt offering for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
