Thou shalt have
The principal part of what was offered to God was the portion of the priests; who had no inheritance of land in Israel. The Rabbins say, 24 gifts were given to the priests; all of which are expressed in the law. Eight were only eaten in the sanctuary: 1
The flesh of the sin-offering. ( Leviticus 6:25 ,26.) 2
The flesh of the trespass-offering. ( Leviticus 7:1 ,6.) 3. The
peace-offering of the congregation ( Leviticus 23:19 ,20.) 4. The remainder of the sheaf
( Leviticus 23:10 .) 5. The remnants of the meat-offerings
( Leviticus 6:16 .) 6. The two loaves. ( Leviticus 23:17 .) 7
