Numbers 18:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 This is what you shall have from the oblations that are most holy: every offering of theirs—namely, all their grain offerings, purification offerings, and reparation offerings which they must return to me—shall be most holy for you and for your sons. 10 You shall eat them in a most holy place;[a] every male may partake of them. As holy, they belong to you.
11 This also you shall have: the contributions that are their gifts, including the elevated offering[b] of the Israelites; I assign them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual due.(A) All in your household who are clean may eat them.
