Numbers 18:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Priests’ Share of the Sacrifices. 8 The Lord said to Aaron:[a] I hereby give to you charge of the contributions made to me, including the various holy offerings of the Israelites;(A) I assign them to you and to your sons as a perquisite, a perpetual due. 9 This is what you shall have from the oblations that are most holy: every offering of theirs—namely, all their grain offerings, purification offerings, and reparation offerings which they must return to me—shall be most holy for you and for your sons. 10 You shall eat them in a most holy place;[b] every male may partake of them. As holy, they belong to you.
