First Fruits

“You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.”

“You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.”

“I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.”

“You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.”

“As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.”

“We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.”

“Moreover, we will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God the firstfruits of our dough, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and oil. A tenth of our produce belongs to the Levites, so that they shall receive tithes in all the towns where we labor.”

“For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept and where the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers stay. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.””
