SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:8
¶ Dijo más el SEÑOR a Aarón: He aquí yo te he dado también la guarda de mis ofrendas; todas las cosas consagradas de los hijos de Israel te he dado por razón de la unción, y a tus hijos, por estatuto perpetuo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And the Lord spake unto Aaron , etc.] Having pointed out to him the duty of his office, he now informs him of the perquisites of it; or having told him what was his work, now what his wages, or what was his service, and now his maintenance: behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel ; such as the heave shoulder and wave breast, and firstfruits, and all other holy things in general, such as were the most holy things; as in ( Numbers 18:9); and the lighter holy things, as the Jews call them, ( Numbers 18:11); the charge of these was given to keep for themselves, and for their families: unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing : because of his office as a priest, to which he was consecrated by anointing: and to thy sons by an ordinance for ever ; (see Leviticus 7:34-36).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-19 - All believers are spiritual priests, and God has promised to take car of them. Godliness has the promise of the life that now is. And from the provision here made for the priests, the apostle shows that it is the duty of christian churches to maintain their ministers. Scandalou maintenance makes scandalous ministers. The priests were to be wholl devoted to their ministry, not diverted from it, or disturbed in it, by worldly care or business. Also, that they might be examples of livin by faith, not only in God's providence, but in his ordinances. The bes should be offered for the first-fruits unto the Lord. Those who thin to save, by putting God off with the refuse, deceive themselves, for God is not mocked.
