Numbers 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:9

And every offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel
Of the holy sacrifices brought by them to be offered up; that part of them which is elevated, heaved, or waved, as the heave shoulder and wave breast:

which they bring unto the priest, shall be his;
what they bring to him to offer for them shall be his who performs the service, even that part of them which is his due.

Numbers 5:9 In-Context

7 The person is to confess the sin he has committed. He is to pay full compensation, add a fifth of its value to it, and give [it] to the individual he has wronged.

8 But if that individual has no relative to receive compensation, the compensation goes to the Lord for the priest, along with the atonement ram by which the priest will make atonement for the [guilty] person.

9 Every holy contribution the Israelites present to the priest will be his.

10 Each one's holy contribution is his [to give]; what each one gives to the priest will be his."

11 The Lord spoke to Moses:
