Offerings for Priests and Levites

⁸ Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself have put you in charge of the offerings presented to me; all the holy offerings the Israelites give me I give to you and your sons as your portion,^(A) your perpetual share.^(B)

¹⁶ Aaron and his sons^(A) shall eat the rest^(B) of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast^(C) in the sanctuary area;^(D) they are to eat it in the courtyard^(E) of the tent of meeting.^(F)

⁶ Any male in a priest’s family may eat it,^(A) but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.^(B)

¹⁸ Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it.^(A) For all generations to come^(B) it is his perpetual share^(C) of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.^[a](D)’”

¹⁵ Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.^(A)”

¹³ Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments,^(A) anoint him and consecrate^(B) him so he may serve me as priest.

²⁹ “Aaron’s sacred garments^(A) will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.^(B)

²⁷ As for you, the anointing^(A) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things^(B) and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.^(C)

²⁰ But you have an anointing^(A) from the Holy One,^(B) and all of you know the truth.^[a](C)
