¹⁶ For if ^(A)the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

³⁰ The ^(A)best^[a] of all firstfruits of any kind, and every sacrifice of any kind from all your sacrifices, shall be the priest’s; also you ^(B)shall give to the priest the first of your ground meal, ^(C)to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

¹⁰ “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ^(A)‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of ^(B)the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.

^18 (A)Of His own will He brought us forth by the ^(B)word of truth, ^(C)that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

¹⁷ And if ^(A)some of the branches were broken off, ^(B)and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and ^[a]fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁰ and now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which you, O Lord, have given me.’

“Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God.

¹⁷ Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^18 (A)“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, ¹⁹ then it will be, when you eat of ^(B)the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. ^20 (C)You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as ^(D)a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. ²¹ Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.
