And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since {the people} began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left {is} this great store.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee. {best: Heb. fat}

The firstfruit {also} of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males {shall be} the LORD'S. {set...: Heb. cause to pass over}

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:

Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, {both} of man and of beast: it {is} mine.

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Thou shalt not delay {to offer} the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. {the first...: Heb. thy fulness} {liquors: Heb. tear}

Because all the firstborn {are} mine; {for} on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I {am} the LORD.

And {this} your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though {it were} the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that {there shall} not {be room} enough {to receive it}. {pour...: Heb. empty out}

Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.

For if the firstfruit {be} holy, the lump {is} also {holy}: and if the root {be} holy, so {are} the branches.

That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males {shall be} the LORD'S. {set...: Heb. cause to pass over}

That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put {it} in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

All that openeth the matrix {is} mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, {whether} ox or sheep, {that is male}. {sheep: or, kid}

Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough {for} an heave offering: as {ye do} the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.

Because all the firstborn {are} mine; {for} on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I {am} the LORD.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: {sheaf: or, handful: Heb. omer}
