Numbers 18:11-18

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ “This also is yours: the offering of their gifts along with the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you and your sons and daughters as your portion forever. Everyone who is pure in your household can eat it. ¹² I have given to you all of the best of the oil and the best of the wine and of the wheat and their firstfruits that they offer to the Lord. ¹³ The first ripe fruits of all that is in the land that they bring to the Lord shall be yours. Everyone who is pure in your household can eat it.

¹⁴ “Everything that is dedicated^[a] to the Lord will be yours. ¹⁵ Everything that opens the womb of all flesh that they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be yours. Nevertheless, you will redeem the firstborn son and you will redeem the firstborn male of impure animals. ¹⁶ When they are a month old, you shall redeem them at the redemption price of five shekels of silver, calculated according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which weighs twenty gerahs. ¹⁷ You are not to redeem the firstborn of the cattle or the firstborn of the sheep or the firstborn of the goats, for they are holy. Sprinkle their blood upon the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing fragrance to the Lord. ¹⁸ Their meat shall be yours, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the right thigh. These are yours.
