Numbers 18:8–20

⁸Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Behold, ^fI have given you charge of the contributions made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel. I have given them to you ^gas a portion and to your sons as a perpetual due. ⁹This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering of theirs and every ^hsin offering of theirs and every ⁱguilt offering of theirs, which they render to me, shall be most holy to you and to your sons. ¹⁰In a most holy place shall you eat it. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you. ¹¹This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, all the ^jwave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to ^kyou, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. ^lEveryone who is clean in your house may eat it. ^12mAll the best of the oil and all the best of the wine and of the grain, ⁿthe firstfruits of what they give to the Lord, I give to you. ¹³The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, ^owhich they bring to the Lord, shall be yours. ^lEveryone who is clean in your house may eat it. ^14pEvery devoted thing in Israel shall be yours. ^15qEverything that opens the womb of all flesh, whether man or beast, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours. Nevertheless, ^rthe firstborn of man you shall redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem. ¹⁶And their redemption price ^s(at a month old you shall redeem them) you shall fix at five shekels² in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, ^twhich is twenty gerahs. ^17uBut the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall burn their fat as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁸But their flesh shall be yours, as ^vthe breast that is waved and as the right thigh are yours. ^19wAll the holy contributions that the people of Israel present to the Lord I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. ^xIt is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord for you and for your offspring with you.” ²⁰And the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. ^yI am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel.
