Numbers 18:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:9

This shall be thine of the most holy things
For, as observed, there were some lighter and lesser holy things or sacrifices, and others superlatively so: and those are begun with, such as were [reserved] from the fire;
those parts of sacrifices which were not burnt with fire on the altar of burnt offerings: every oblation of theirs;
which is a general word, including various offerings, the particulars follow; every meat offering of theirs:
or bread offering, for they were made of fine flour and oil, and burnt on the altar, the remainder of which was eaten by Aaron and his sons, ( Leviticus 6:14-18 ) ; every sin offering of theirs;
which was offered to make atonement for sin, which also belonged to the priests and their sons, excepting such whose blood was carried into the most holy place, ( Leviticus 6:25-30 ) ; and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto
me;
which was offered for a trespass committed; what remained of this also, when burnt on the altar, was eaten by the priest and his sons, ( Leviticus 7:5 Leviticus 7:6 ) ; and this sacrifice was a ram, when a trespass was committed, either in the holy things of the Lord, or in wrongs done to men, ( Leviticus 5:15 ) ( 6:6 ) ; Jarchi interprets it of an offering for a trespass committed by rapine or violence to a stranger: these, all of them, it is added, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons;
for their use, and for theirs only.

Numbers 18:9 In-Context

7 But only you and your sons may serve as priests. Only you may serve at the altar or go behind the curtain. I am giving you this gift of serving as a priest, and anyone else who comes near the Holy Place will be put to death."
8 Then the Lord said to Aaron, "I myself make you responsible for the offerings given to me. All the holy offerings that the Israelites give to me, I give to you and your sons as your share, your continual portion.
9 Your share of the holy offerings is that part which is not burned. When the people bring me gifts as most holy offerings, whether they are grain or sin or penalty offerings, they will be set apart for you and your sons.
10 You must eat the offering in a most holy place. Any male may eat it, but you must respect it as holy.
11 "I also give you the offerings the Israelites present to me. I give these to you and your sons and daughters as your continual share. Anyone in your family who is clean may eat it.
