¹⁷ The Lord instructed Moses, ¹⁸ “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you, ¹⁹ you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land. ²⁰ You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough^(A) as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.^{(B) 21} Throughout your generations, you are to give the Lord a contribution from the first batch of your dough.

³⁷ We will bring a loaf from our first batch of dough^(A) to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God. We will also bring the firstfruits of our grain offerings, of every fruit tree, and of the new wine and fresh oil.^(B) A tenth of our land’s produce belongs to the Levites, for the Levites are to collect the one-tenth offering in all our agricultural towns.^(C)

³⁰ The best of all the firstfruits of every kind and contribution of every kind from all your gifts will belong to the priests.^(A) You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest^(B) so that a blessing may rest on your homes.^(C)
