Ezekiel 44:30

The People Serving In The New Temple

²⁹ Their food is to be the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; and everything given specially to the Lord in Israel will be theirs. ³⁰ And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house. ³¹ The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.
