Numbers 18:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ But the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.

¹⁸ But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.

¹⁹ All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.
