Numbers 18:8-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself make you responsible for the offerings given to me. All the holy offerings that the Israelites give to me, I give to you. They are for you and your sons as your share. They will be your continual portion.

9. Your share of the holy offerings is that part which is not burned. The people will bring me gifts as most holy offerings. These are grain or sin or penalty offerings. These will be set apart for you and your sons.

10. You must eat it in a most holy place. Any male may eat it. But you must respect it as holy.

11. “I also give you the offerings the Israelites present to me. I give these to you and your sons and daughters. This is your share. Anyone in your family who is clean may eat it.

12. “And I give you all the best olive oil and all the best new wine and grain. This is what the Israelites give to me, the Lord. These are the first things they harvest.

13. They bring to the Lord all the first things they harvest. They will be yours. Anyone in your family who is clean may eat these things.

14. “Everything in Israel that is given to the Lord is yours.

15. The first one born to any family will be offered to the Lord. This is true for both men and animals. And that will be yours. But you must make a payment for every firstborn son and every firstborn animal that is unclean.
