EZEKIEL 44:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.”
The best of all the first fruits of everything, and all the contributions, shall belong to the priests; and you shall give to the priests the first of your ground meal, that a blessing may rest on your house'—extending the priestly support to include firstfruits and grain contributions from the people. The promise that a blessing rests on houses that honor the priests emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between people and priesthood. This verse establishes the popular support for the priesthood.
