Numbers 18
1. The charge of the priests and Levites
8. The priests, portion
21. The Levites,
25. The heave offering to the priests out of the Levites' portion














And this is yours
This phrase signifies a divine allocation. In the Hebrew context, the word "yours" (לְךָ, lecha) indicates possession and responsibility. God is establishing a clear delineation of what belongs to the priests, emphasizing His provision and care for those serving in the priestly role.

the offering of their gift
The Hebrew word for "offering" (תְּרוּמָה, terumah) refers to a contribution or a lifted portion. This was a sacred portion set aside for the priests, symbolizing the people's dedication to God. The "gift" (מַתָּנָה, mattanah) underscores the voluntary and generous nature of the Israelites' offerings, reflecting their gratitude and worship.

all the wave offerings of the Israelites
The "wave offerings" (תְּנוּפָה, tenuphah) were portions of sacrifices that were waved before the Lord as a symbolic gesture of presentation and consecration. This act was a physical demonstration of offering something to God and then receiving it back for use by the priests, signifying God's acceptance and blessing.

I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters
This phrase highlights the hereditary nature of the priestly provisions. The use of "I have given" (נָתַתִּי, natati) emphasizes God's sovereign choice and generosity. The inclusion of "sons and daughters" indicates the familial and generational aspect of the priestly service, ensuring the sustenance and continuity of the priestly line.

as a permanent statute
The term "permanent statute" (חֻקַּת עוֹלָם, chukat olam) signifies an enduring ordinance. This was not a temporary provision but an everlasting decree, underscoring the unchanging nature of God's laws and His faithfulness to His promises.

This is an everlasting covenant of salt
The "everlasting covenant" (בְּרִית עוֹלָם, berit olam) denotes a perpetual agreement. The "covenant of salt" (מֶלַח, melach) is a metaphor for preservation and purity. In ancient Near Eastern culture, salt was a symbol of enduring agreements due to its preservative qualities. This covenant signifies the enduring and unbreakable nature of God's promises to the priestly line.

before the LORD
The phrase "before the LORD" (לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, lifnei YHWH) indicates the divine witness and approval of this covenant. It underscores the sacredness and solemnity of the agreement, reminding the priests that their service and sustenance are under God's watchful eye.

for you and your offspring
This final phrase reiterates the personal and generational promise. The provision is not only for the current priests but also for their descendants, ensuring the continuity of God's care and the priestly service. It highlights the importance of legacy and faithfulness in the service of God.

(11) The heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings . . . --See Leviticus 7:34.

Every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.--See Leviticus 22:10-13.

Verse 11. - And this is thine. Here begins a second list of holy gifts which might be eaten at home by all members of the priestly families who were clean; they included

(1) all wave offerings, especially the wave breast and heave shoulder of the peace offerings;

(2) all first-fruits of every kind;

(3) all that was devoted; . . .
