Ezekiel 44:29-31

29-31. The priests lived from the temple offerings, having as theirs the meat offering (Leviticus 2:1-16; Leviticus 6:14-16; Leviticus 7:9-11; Numbers 28:12-13), the sin offering (Leviticus 6:18-29; Leviticus 7:6; Leviticus 7:17; Numbers 18:9-10), the trespass [ guilt ] offering (Leviticus 7:28-38), and every dedicated [ devoted ] thing in Israel (Leviticus 27:26; Leviticus 27:28; Numbers 18:14), and the first [or, best ] of all the first fruits of all things (Exodus 23:19; Numbers 18:13), and every oblation, or, heave offering (Numbers 15:19; Numbers 18:19); that is, “any portion of one’s property offered to the deity in gratitude for past favors or in hope of future favors;” and the first of the dough or “coarse meal” (Numbers 15:20-21). The priest, as all the people, must be careful only to eat food properly killed (Exodus 22:31; Deuteronomy 14:21; Leviticus 16:15; Leviticus 22:8). In the light of recent medical science this, like the majority of the Levitical injunctions, is seen to be a healthful precaution.
