Numbers 18:8-19
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I have given thee the keeping of mine [a]offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel: unto thee have I given them for the anointing’s sake, and to thy sons for a perpetual ordinance.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from [b]the fire: all their offering of all their meat offering, and of all their sin offering, and of all their trespass offering, which they bring unto me, that shall be most holy unto thee, and to thy sons.
10 In the most [c]holy place shalt thou eat it: every male shall eat of it: it is holy unto thee.
11 This also shall be thine: the heave offering of their gift, with all the shake offerings of the children of Israel, I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy [d]daughters with thee, to be a duty forever: all the clean in thine house shall eat of it.
12 All the [e]fat of the oil, and all the fat of the wine, and of the wheat, which they shall offer unto the Lord for their firstfruits, I have given them unto thee.
13 And the first ripe of all that is in their land, which they shall bring unto Lord shall be thine: all the clean in thine house shall eat of it.
14 (A)Everything separate from the common use in Israel shall be thine.
15 All that first openeth the (B)matrix of any flesh, which they shall offer unto the Lord of man or beast, shall be thine: but the firstborn of man shalt thou redeem, and the firstborn of the unclean beast shalt thou redeem.
16 And those that are to be redeemed, shalt thou redeem from the age of a month, according to thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, (C)which is twenty gerahs.
17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat shalt thou not [f]redeem: for they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood at the altar, and thou shalt burn their fat: it is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, (D)as the shake breast, and as the right shoulder shall be thine.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel shall offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, to be a duty forever: it is a perpetual covenant [g]of salt before the Lord, to thee, and to thy seed with thee.
