These could include tithes, firstfruits, and other offerings dedicated to God. The concept of sacred contributions is rooted in the idea of holiness and separation for divine use, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/27-30.htm">Leviticus 27:30-33</a>. This reflects the broader biblical principle that everything belongs to God, and what is given to Him is considered holy.<p><b>the Israelites bring</b><br>The Israelites, as God's chosen people, were commanded to bring offerings to the tabernacle or temple. This act of bringing offerings was a physical demonstration of their obedience and devotion to God. It also served as a reminder of their covenant relationship with Him, as outlined in <a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>. The act of bringing offerings was a communal activity, reinforcing the collective identity and responsibility of the Israelites as a nation set apart for God.<p><b>to the priest</b><br>The priesthood, established through Aaron and his descendants, served as mediators between God and the people. Priests were responsible for performing sacrifices, maintaining the sanctuary, and teaching the law. The role of the priest is significant in understanding the sacrificial system and the need for mediation between a holy God and sinful humanity. This foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who mediates a new covenant (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).<p><b>shall belong to him</b><br>The provision that sacred contributions belong to the priest underscores the principle of supporting those who serve in ministry. In the ancient context, priests did not have a land inheritance like the other tribes (<a href="/numbers/18-20.htm">Numbers 18:20-21</a>). Instead, they were sustained by the offerings of the people. This principle is echoed in the New Testament, where Paul speaks of those who preach the gospel living from the gospel (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-13.htm">1 Corinthians 9:13-14</a>). It highlights the importance of providing for spiritual leaders, ensuring they can dedicate themselves fully to their divine duties.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, who are God's chosen people in the Old Testament.
