Deuteronomy 12:6

12:6 And there you must take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, ¹  your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.

Deuteronomy 12:11

12:11 Then you must come to the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to reside, bringing ²  everything I am commanding you – your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, ³  and all your choice votive offerings which you devote to him. ⁴ 

Deuteronomy 12:18

12:18 Only in the presence of the Lord your God may you eat these, in the place he ⁵  chooses. This applies to you, your son, your daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levites ⁶  in your villages. In that place you will rejoice before the Lord your God in all the output of your labor. ⁷ 

Numbers 5:9-10

5:9 Every offering ⁸  of all the Israelites’ holy things that they bring to the priest will be his. 5:10 Every man’s holy things ⁹  will be his; whatever any man gives the priest will be his.’”

Numbers 18:19

18:19 All the raised offerings of the holy things that the Israelites offer to the Lord, I have given to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt ¹⁰  forever before the Lord for you and for your descendants with you.”

[12:6]  ¹ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

[12:11]  ² tn Heb “and it will be (to) the place where the Lord your God chooses to cause his name to dwell you will bring.”

[12:11]  ³ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

[12:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:18]  ⁶ tn See note at Deut 12:12.

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “in all the sending forth of your hands.”

[5:9]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word תְּרוּמָה (tÿrumah) seems to be a general word for any offering that goes to the priests (see J. Milgrom, Studies in Cultic Theology and Terminology [SJLA 36], 159-72).

[5:10]  ⁹ sn The “holy gifts” are described with the root of קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh) to convey that they were separate. Such things had been taken out of the ordinary and normal activities of life.

[18:19]  ¹⁰ sn Salt was used in all the offerings; its importance as a preservative made it a natural symbol for the covenant which was established by sacrifice. Even general agreements were attested by sacrifice, and the phrase “covenant of salt” speaks of such agreements as binding and irrevocable. Note the expression in Ezra 4:14, “we have been salted with the salt of the palace.” See further J. F. Ross, IDB 4:167.
