6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto the Lord, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
7 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for every thing of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a due for ever.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every guilt offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
10 As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof: every male shall eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.
11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the corn, the firstfruits of them which they give unto the Lord, to thee have I given them.
