Numbers 18:13

[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat [of] it.

And whatsoever is first ripe {H1061} in the land {H776}, which they shall bring {H935} unto the LORD {H3068}, shall be thine; every one that is clean {H2889} in thine house {H1004} shall eat {H398} of it.

The first produce to turn ripe of all that is in their land, which they bring to ADONAI, is to be yours; every clean person in your family may eat it.

The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.

The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
