"Yet truly, the flesh shall fall to your use, just as the consecrated breast and the right shoulder shall be yours. "
— Numbers 18:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.”
“And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. ”
“Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.”
“And their meat will be yours, just as the breast and the right hip of the raised offering is yours.”
“But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.”
“Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.”
“And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.”
Whatever goes out first from the womb, of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether from men or from cattle, shall be your right; yet only in so far as, for the firstborn of man, you shall accept a price. And every animal that is unclean you shall cause to be redeemed.
And its redemption shall be, after one month, five shekels of silver, by the weight of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
But the firstborn of a cow, or of a sheep, or of a goat, you shall not cause to be redeemed, because they have been sanctified to the Lord. Thus, their blood you shall pour out upon the altar, and their fat you shall burn as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
Yet truly, the flesh shall fall to your use, just as the consecrated breast and the right shoulder shall be yours.
All the first-fruits of the Sanctuary, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons as well as to your daughters, as a perpetual right. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord, for you and for your sons.”
And the Lord said to Aaron: “In their land, you shall possess nothing; neither shall you have a portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
But I have given, to the sons of Levi, all the tithes of Israel as a possession, for the ministry by which they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant,
