Numbers 18:8-19 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

8. And the Lord spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a due for ever.

9. This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every guilt offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10. As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof: every male shall eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.

11. And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.

12. All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the corn, the firstfruits of them which they give unto the Lord, to thee have I given them.

13. The firstripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto the Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.

14. Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

15. Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the Lord, both of man and beast, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

16. And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).

17. But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

18. And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.

19. All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
