Numbers 18:9-32
Of all the most holy offerings reserved from the fire this will be yours: Every offering of theirs, whether from every grain offering or from every purification offering or from every reparation offering which they bring to me, will be most holy for you and for your sons.You are to eat it as a most holy offering; every male may eat it. It will be holy to you.“ And this is yours: the raised offering of their gift, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual ordinance. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your household may eat of it.“ All the best of the olive oil and all the best of the wine and of the wheat, the first fruits of these things that they give to the LORD, I have given to you.And whatever first ripe fruit in their land they bring to the LORD will be yours; everyone who is ceremonially clean in your household may eat of it.“ Everything devoted in Israel will be yours.The firstborn of every womb which they present to the LORD, whether human or animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the firstborn sons you must redeem, and the firstborn males of unclean animals you must redeem.And those that must be redeemed you are to redeem when they are a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of silver according to the sanctuary shekel( which is twenty gerahs).But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow or a sheep or a goat; they are holy. You must splash their blood on the altar and burn their fat for an offering made by fire for a pleasing aroma to the LORD.And their meat will be yours, just as the breast and the right hip of the raised offering is yours.All the raised offerings of the holy things that the Israelites offer to the LORD, I have given to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD for you and for your descendants with you.”The LORD spoke to Aaron,“ You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion of property among them– I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.See, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform– the service of the tent of meeting.No longer may the Israelites approach the tent of meeting, or else they will bear their sin and die.But the Levites must perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. It will be a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations that among the Israelites the Levites have no inheritance.But I have given to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the Israelites that are offered to the LORD as a raised offering. That is why I said to them that among the Israelites they are to have no inheritance.”The LORD spoke to Moses:“ You are to speak to the Levites, and you must tell them,‘ When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you are to offer up from it as a raised offering to the LORD a tenth of the tithe.And your raised offering will be credited to you as though it were grain from the threshing floor or as new wine from the winepress.Thus you are to offer up a raised offering to the LORD of all your tithes which you receive from the Israelites; and you must give the LORD’s raised offering from it to Aaron the priest.From all your gifts you must offer up every raised offering due the LORD, from all the best of it, and the holiest part of it.’“ Therefore you will say to them,‘ When you offer up the best of it, then it will be credited to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor and as the product of the winepress.And you may eat it in any place, you and your household, because it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.And you will bear no sin concerning it when you offer up the best of it. And you must not profane the holy things of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”

“ You must take choice wheat flour and bake twelve loaves; there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in each loaf,and you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the ceremonially pure table before the LORD.You must put pure frankincense on each row, and it will become a memorial portion for the bread, a gift to the LORD.Each Sabbath day Aaron must arrange it before the LORD continually; this portion is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion from the gifts of the LORD.”

Leviticus 27:9-33
“‘ If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented to the LORD, anything which he gives to the LORD from this kind of animal will be holy.He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy.If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the LORD, then he must stand the animal before the priest,and the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. According to the assessed conversion value of the priest, thus it will be.If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value.“‘ If a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. Just as the priest establishes its conversion value, thus it will stand.If the one who consecrates it redeems his house, he must add to it one fifth of its conversion value in silver, and it will belong to him.“‘ If a man consecrates to the LORD some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver.If he consecrates his field in the jubilee year, the conversion value will stand,but if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value.If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price and it will belong to him.If he does not redeem the field, but sells the field to someone else, he may never redeem it.When it reverts in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the LORD like a permanently dedicated field; it will become the priest’s property.“‘ If he consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not part of his own landed property,the priest will calculate for him the amount of its conversion value until the jubilee year, and he must pay the conversion value on that jubilee day as something that is holy to the LORD.In the jubilee year the field will return to the one from whom he bought it, the one to whom it belongs as landed property.Every conversion value must be calculated by the standard of the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs to the shekel.“‘ Surely no man may consecrate a firstborn that already belongs to the LORD as a firstborn among the animals; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it belongs to the LORD.If, however, it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it according to its conversion value and must add one fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed it must be sold according to its conversion value.“‘ Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the LORD from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the LORD.Any human being who is permanently dedicated must not be ransomed; such a person must be put to death.“‘ Any tithe of the land, from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.If a man redeems part of his tithe, however, he must add one fifth to it.All the tithe of herd or flock, everything which passes under the rod, the tenth one will be holy to the LORD.The owner must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, both the original animal and its substitute will be holy. It must not be redeemed.’”

I will remove harmful animals from the land, and no sword of war will pass through your land.You will pursue your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword.Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.

Leviticus 22:1-16
The LORD spoke to Moses:“ Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the holy offerings of the Israelites, which they consecrate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.Say to them,‘ Throughout your generations, if any man from all your descendants approaches the holy offerings which the Israelites consecrate to the LORD while he is impure, that person must be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.No man from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, or a man who has a seminal emission,or a man who touches a swarming thing by which he becomes unclean, or touches a person by which he becomes unclean, whatever that person’s impurity–the person who touches any of these will be unclean until evening and must not eat from the holy offerings unless he has bathed his body in water.When the sun goes down he will be clean, and afterward he may eat from the holy offerings, because they are his food.He must not eat an animal that has died of natural causes or an animal torn by beasts and thus become unclean by it. I am the LORD.They must keep my charge so that they do not incur sin on account of it and therefore die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.“‘ No lay person may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,but if a priest buys a person with his own money, that person may eat the holy offerings, and those born in the priest’s own house may eat his food.If a priest’s daughter marries a lay person, she may not eat the holy contribution offerings,but if a priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and she has no children so that she returns to live in her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat from her father’s food, but no lay person may eat it.“‘ If a man eats a holy offering by mistake, he must add one fifth to it and give the holy offering to the priest.They must not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites contribute to the LORD,and so cause them to incur a penalty for guilt when they eat their holy offerings, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

Deuteronomy 26:1-15
When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you occupy it and live in it,you must take the first of all the ground’s produce you harvest from the land the LORD your God is giving you, place it in a basket, and go to the place where he chooses to locate his name.You must go to the priest in office at that time and say to him,“ I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD promised to our ancestors to give us.”The priest will then take the basket from you and set it before the altar of the LORD your God.Then you must affirm before the LORD YOUR GOD,“ A wandering Aramean was my ancestor, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as a foreigner with a household few in number, but there he became a great, powerful, and numerous people.But the Egyptians mistreated and oppressed us, forcing us to do burdensome labor.So we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.Therefore the LORD brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground’s produce that you, LORD, have given me.” Then you must set it down before the LORD your God and worship before him.You will celebrate all the good things that the LORD your God has given you and your family, along with the Levites and the resident foreigners among you.When you finish tithing all your income in the third year( the year of tithing), you must give it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows so that they may eat to their satisfaction in your villages.Then you shall say before the LORD your God,“ I have removed the sacred offering from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.I have not eaten anything when I was in mourning, or removed any of it while ceremonially unclean, or offered any of it to the dead; I have obeyed you and have done everything you have commanded me.Look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you have given us, just as you promised our ancestors– a land flowing with milk and honey.”

Leviticus 10:17-18
“ Why did you not eat the sin offering in the sanctuary? For it is most holy and he gave it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement on their behalf before the LORD.See here! Its blood was not brought into the holy place within! You should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary just as I commanded!”
