Numbers 18:17

¹⁷But the firstborn of a cow, the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the Lord.

Numbers 18 establishes the specific duties and provisions for the priests and Levites, clarifying their distinct roles in the Tabernacle service. This chapter reinforces the sanctity of the priesthood, detailing the severe consequences for unauthorized access to holy things, and outlining the financial support system—tithes and offerings—that sustained the priestly and Levitical tribes. It serves as a divine mandate for the proper functioning of Israel's worship and the maintenance of its spiritual order, directly addressing the recent rebellion of Korah and its aftermath.
