Numbers 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:13

[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land
Of any other sort of fruit, figs, pomegranates, apples, plums, pears besides olives and vines;

which they shall bring unto the Lord, shall be thine;
which they shall bring in a basket to the tabernacle, where it was, or to the temple, when built: this the priests were to have, see ( Deuteronomy 26:2-4 ) ;

everyone that is clean in thine house shall eat of it;
(See Gill on Numbers 18:11).

Numbers 18:13 In-Context

11 This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, all the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.
12 All the best of the oil and all the best of the wine and of the grain, the firstfruits of what they give to the LORD, I give to you.
13 The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.
15 Everything that opens the womb of all flesh, whether man or beast, which they offer to the LORD, shall be yours. Nevertheless, the firstborn of man you shall redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.
