Every sacred contribution
The Hebrew term for "sacred contribution" is "terumah," which refers to offerings set apart for a holy purpose. In the ancient Israelite context, these contributions were a vital part of worship and community life, symbolizing the people's dedication to God. The act of giving a sacred contribution was not merely a ritualistic duty but a heartfelt expression of gratitude and reverence towards the Almighty. It served as a tangible acknowledgment of God's provision and sovereignty over all aspects of life.

the Israelites bring
The phrase emphasizes the collective responsibility and privilege of the Israelite community in supporting the priesthood. The Israelites, as God's chosen people, were called to live in obedience and faithfulness, and part of this calling involved bringing offerings to sustain the spiritual leaders who ministered on their behalf. This act of bringing was not just a physical movement but a spiritual journey, reflecting the Israelites' commitment to uphold the covenant relationship with God.

to the priest
The priest, or "kohen" in Hebrew, served as a mediator between God and the people. The role of the priest was crucial in maintaining the spiritual health of the nation, performing sacrifices, and teaching the law. By bringing contributions to the priest, the Israelites were supporting those who dedicated their lives to serving God and the community. This relationship between the people and the priesthood underscores the importance of spiritual leadership and the need for a dedicated group to guide and intercede for the community.

shall belong to him
This phrase indicates the rightful ownership of the contributions by the priest. In the ancient Near Eastern context, priests often relied on the offerings of the people for their sustenance, as they did not have an inheritance of land like the other tribes. The provision for the priest through these contributions highlights God's care for those who serve Him and ensures that the priest can focus on their sacred duties without the distraction of material needs. It also serves as a reminder of the principle that those who minister in spiritual matters are worthy of material support, a concept echoed in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 9:13-14).

Verse 9. - Every offering. Hebrew, terumah, heave offering (Exodus 29:28). Septuagint, ἀπαρχὴ. Those offerings, or portions of offerings, which were not consumed on the altar, but "presented" at the altar. Having been offered, they were the property of the Lord, and were given by him to the priests.
