At the end of every three years you must bring all the tithe of your produce, in that very year, and you must store it up in your villages.

This shall be the priests' fair allotment from the people who offer sacrifices, whether bull or sheep -- they must give to the priest the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach. read more.

He must eat the same share they do, despite any profits he may gain from the sale of his family's inheritance.
