Offerings: Heave: Given to the Priests' Families As Part of Their Benefits

Source: Nav

Leviticus 10:14 And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 5:9 Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
Numbers 18:10–19, 24 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy. / And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it. / I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
