“This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest’s office;”
This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to the Lord to serve him as priests. The priestly portions were established on the day of the priests' ordination — the first day of their service is the day God established their perpetual provision. The ordination of the priesthood and the establishment of the priestly provisions are simultaneous: the calling and the sustaining are both divine acts. The priests who were called to serve were also provided for at the moment of their calling. Matthew 10:10 says the worker deserves their wages — the priestly provisions established at ordination are the God-ordained wages of the God-ordained service.
