1 Corinthians 9:13
Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?


Leviticus 2:1–3
But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the LORD's food offerings.

Leviticus 5:12–13
 And the remainder shall be for the priest, as in the grain offering.

Leviticus 7:7-10
The priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered. And every grain offering baked in the oven and all that is prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it. And every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be shared equally among all the sons of Aaron.

Leviticus 7:30–36
The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.
And the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
...
The LORD commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, from the day that he anointed them. It is a perpetual due throughout their generations.


"a covenant of salt"
Leviticus 2:13
You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. You shall not let the salt of the covenant with your God be missing from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.

Numbers 18:8–9, 11–15, 19
All the holy contributions that the people of Israel present to the LORD I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD for you and for your offspring with you."


"a tithe of the tithe"
Numbers 18:26–29
Moreover, you shall speak and say to the Levites, 'When you take from the people of Israel the tithe that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution from it to the LORD, a tithe of the tithe. And your contribution shall be counted to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. So you shall also present a contribution to the LORD from all your tithes, which you receive from the people of Israel. And from it you shall give the LORD's contribution to Aaron the priest. Out of all the gifts to you, you shall present every contribution due to the LORD; from each its best part is to be dedicated.'


"I am your portion and your inheritance"
Numbers 18:20–24
And the LORD said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel. To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting...."


"tithe"

You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
