Numbers 18:28-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. And offer the first-fruits of everything, from which you receive tithes, to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.

29. Everything which you shall offer from the tithes, and which you shall separate as gifts to the Lord, shall be the finest and most select.

30. And you shall say to them: 'If you offer the noble and the better of the tithes, it shall be accounted to you as if you had given from the first-fruits of the threshing floor and of the oil and wine presses.'

31. And you shall eat these in all your places, both you and your families, because it is your price for the ministry, by which you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.

32. And you shall not sin in this way: by reserving the excellent and fat things for yourselves, lest you pollute the oblations of the sons of Israel, and lest you die."
