Also, we obligate ourselves to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of the Lord;
also to bring the firstborn of our sons and livestock, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and flocks, to the house of God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.
The first of all the firstfruits of all things and every contribution of all of every sort of your gifts shall be the priest’s. You shall also give to the priest the first of your dough to cause a blessing to rest in your house.
Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand.

And behold, now I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which You, O Lord, have given me.” Then you shall set it before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God.
that you shall take from the first of all the produce of the ground which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide.
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
