Deuteronomy 18:3-5

International Standard Version

Provision for the Priests

³ “A portion of what the people offer in sacrifice, whether cattle or sheep, is to be due the priests. They must set aside the shoulder, jowls, and stomach for the priest. ⁴ Give them the first gatherings of your grain, wine, and oil, as well as wool from the shearing of your flock. ⁵ For the Lord your God has chosen them and their descendants^[a] from among your tribes to stand and serve in the name of the Lord all their lives.”^[b]
