*
Then the LORD said to Aaron , "
And behold ,
I have given you whatever is kept of the offerings made to me ,
all the consecrated things of the people of Israel ;
I have given them to you as a portion ,
and to your sons as a perpetual due .
*
This shall be yours of the most holy things ,
reserved from the fire ;
every offering of theirs ,
every cereal offering of theirs and every sin offering of theirs and every guilt offering of theirs ,
which they render to me ,
shall be most holy to you and to your sons .
*
In a most holy place shall you eat of it ;
every male may eat of it ;
it is holy to you .
*
This also is yours ,
the offering of their gift ,
all the wave offerings of the people of Israel ;
I have given them to you ,
and to your sons and daughters with you ,
as a perpetual due ;
every one who is clean in your house may eat of it .
*
All the best of the oil ,
and all the best of the wine and of the grain ,
the first fruits of what they give to the LORD ,
I give to you .
*
The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land ,
which they bring to the LORD ,
shall be yours ;
every one who is clean in your house may eat of it .
*
Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours .
*
Everything that opens the womb of all flesh ,
whether man or beast ,
which they offer to the LORD ,
shall be yours ;
nevertheless the first-born of man you shall redeem ,
and the firstling of unclean beasts you shall redeem .
*
And their redemption price (
at a month old you shall redeem them )
you shall fix at five shekels in silver ,
according to the shekel of the sanctuary ,
which is twenty gerahs .
*
But the firstling of a cow ,
or the firstling of a sheep ,
or the firstling of a goat ,
you shall not redeem ;
they are holy .
You shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar ,
and shall burn their fat as an offering by fire ,
a pleasing odor to the LORD ;
*
but their flesh shall be yours ,
as the breast that is waved and as the right thigh are yours .
*
All the holy offerings which the people of Israel present to the LORD I give to you ,
and to your sons and daughters with you ,
as a perpetual due ;
it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD for you and for your offspring with you ."
*
And the LORD said to Aaron , "
You shall have no inheritance in their land ,
neither shall you have any portion among them ;
I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel .
* "
To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance ,
in return for their service which they serve ,
their service in the tent of meeting .
