EXODUS 29:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the Lord.”
This is always to be the regular share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the Lord from their fellowship offerings. The priestly portion is always — tamid — the Israelites' contribution to the priests. The fellowship offerings that Israel brings throughout the year provide the priests' regular food through the portions designated in the ordination ceremony. The priests who serve at the altar are fed by the altar: 1 Corinthians 9:13–14 says those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar. The ordination that establishes the priestly portions is the ordination that establishes the priestly community's economic provision.
