Numbers 18:9-11

Duties of Priests and Levites

9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering of theirs and every h sin offering of theirs and every i guilt offering of theirs, which they render to me, shall be most holy to you and to your sons. 10 In a most holy place shall you eat it. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you. 11 This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, all the j wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to k you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. l Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.
