Scripture focus

This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.

Commentary on Numbers 18:9

Theological / Devotional

Most holy things. To specify the things that appertained to the priesthood and to preserve the distinction between the “holy” and “most holy” things as set forth in Lev. 21:22.

Reserved from the fire. That is, from the altar of burnt offerings. The priests received some things that did not come from the altar, such as the 12 loaves of shewbread, or bread of the Presence (see on Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:5-8).

For thee and for thy sons. These portions were to be a partial compensation for their lack of an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
