⁸Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given to you the responsibility of my contributions for all the holy objects of the Israelites;^d I have given them as a portion to you and your sons as an eternal decree. ⁹This will be for you from the sanctuary of the holy things from the fire; all of their offerings, from every grain offering, from every sin offering, and from every guilt offering which they will bring to me is a most holy thing^e for you and your sons. ¹⁰You will eat it in the most holy place;^f every male will eat it. It will be a holy object to you. ¹¹This is also for you: the contribution of their gift of the wave offerings of the children Israel. I have given them to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; whoever is clean in your house may eat it. ¹²All the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and their best grain that they have given to Yahweh, I have given them to you. ¹³The firstfruits of all that is in their land that they present to Yahweh will be for you; whoever is clean in your house may eat it. ¹⁴All consecrated possessions^g in Israel will be for you. ¹⁵All the first offspring of a womb of any creature that they offer to Yahweh, whether human or animal, will be yours; you will surely redeem the firstborn of the human and the unclean firstborn of the animal. ¹⁶As to their price of redemption, from a one-month-old^h you will redeem them according to your proper value, five shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerah. ¹⁷Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they are holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh. ¹⁸But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh. ¹⁹All the contributions of holiness that the Israelitesⁱ offer to Yahweh I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; it is an eternal covenant of salt before^j Yahweh to you and your offspring with you.” ²⁰Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will not receive an inheritance in their land, and there will not be a plot of ground for you in the midst of the Israelites.^k
