  • Num 18:8-9 : 8 The LORD said to Aaron, 'See, I have placed you in charge of the contributions given to me and all the sacred offerings of the Israelites. I give them to you and your sons as a portion, a permanent statute.' 9 'You are to receive the most holy offerings, including every grain offering, sin offering, and guilt offering that they return to me. These most holy offerings belong to you and your sons.' 10 'You must eat it in a most holy place. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you.' 11 'This also is yours: the contributions and wave offerings presented by the Israelites. I give these to you, your sons, and your daughters with you as a perpetual ordinance. Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean may eat of it.' 12 'I give you the finest olive oil, new wine, and grain—the firstfruits they offer to the LORD.' 13 'The first ripe produce of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours. Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean may eat of it.' 14 'Everything in Israel that is devoted to the LORD shall be yours.' 15 Every firstborn that opens the womb, of all flesh offered to the LORD, whether human or animal, shall belong to you. However, you must surely redeem the firstborn of humans and redeem the firstborn of unclean animals. 16 When they are a month old, you shall redeem them at your valuation, which is five shekels of silver, measured by the sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs make a shekel. 17 But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 18 Their meat shall be yours, just like the breast of the wave offering and the right thigh are yours. 19 All the holy contributions the Israelites present to the LORD, I give to you, your sons, and your daughters with you as a perpetual ordinance. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your descendants with you. 20 The LORD said to Aaron: You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and inheritance among the Israelites.

It is most holy.
  • Lev 7:6-8 : 6 Every male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. 7 The guilt offering is the same as the sin offering; there is one law for both.
