Numbers 18:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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. 12 I also assign to you all the best(B) of the new oil and of the new wine and grain that they give to the Lord as their first produce that has been processed.
