THE FIRST (REISHIT) IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE LEVITES

Deuteronomy 18:1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

Deuteronomy 18:4 The firstfruit <07225> also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first <07225> of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
