⁸Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions^a brought to me. As for all the holy offerings^b of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.^c ⁹A portion of the holiest offerings kept from the fire will be yours; every one of their offerings that they give me, whether the grain offering, sin offering, or guilt offering will be most holy for you and your sons. ¹⁰You are to eat it as a most holy offering.^C Every male may eat it; it is to be holy to you.

¹¹“The contribution of their gifts also belongs to you. I have given all the Israelites’ presentation offerings^d to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute.^e Every ceremonially clean person in your house may eat it. ¹²I am giving you all the best of the fresh oil, new wine, and grain,^f which the Israelites give to the Lord as their firstfruits.^g ¹³The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, belong to you. Every clean person in your house may eat them.
