Primary Verses:
- Num. 18:9-11
-
"This shall be thine of the most
holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of
theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin
offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of
theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most
holy for thee and for thy sons.
In the most holy
place shalt thou eat it; every male
shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. And this is
thine; the heave
offering of their gift, with 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, by a statute for ever:
every one that is
clean in thy house shall eat of it."
Supporting Verses:
- Lev. 22:2-3
-
"Speak unto Aaron and to his
sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things
of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my
holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I
am the LORD. Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your
seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy
things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the
LORD, having his
uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be
cut off from my presence: I am the LORD."
-
Lev. 22:11-13
-
"But if the priest buy any soul
with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born
in his house: they shall eat of his meat. If the
priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger,
she may not eat of an
offering of the holy things. But if the
priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no
child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in
her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there
shall no stranger eat thereof."
