Commentary on Numbers 5:10

Theological / Devotional

Shall be his. This verse mentions both sources of priestly revenue: dues to Jehovah and gifts to the priests. An individual priest could not claim specific gifts from particular individuals. The giving was the responsibility of the owner, subject to this general admonition and to the principle that whatever Jehovah claimed as His own must come first.
