12
All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.
13
The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.
14
Everything given by oath to the Lord in Israel is to be yours.
15
The first birth of every living thing which is offered to the Lord, of man or beast, is to be yours; but for the first sons of man payment is to be made, and for the first young of unclean beasts.
16
Payment is to be made for these when they are a month old, at the value fixed by you, a price of five shekels by the scale of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
17
But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.
18
Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.
19
All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.
20
And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.
21
And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.
22
In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.
