For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares, or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope. If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things? If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ. Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

9. And every offering — Terumah. The original, according to Furst, signifies “any oblation, that is, a gift taken from a whole which one brings to God or to the priest.” It is supposed to have special reference here to the heave shoulder and the wave breast, the perquisites of the priestly office. Lev_10:12-15. The Greek version has απαρχη, firstfruits. We group together all the sources of revenue to the priests before their settlement in Canaan. 1.) One per cent. of the produce of the soil, which was one tenth of the tithes paid to the Levites. Num_18:26 to Num_28:2.) A special tithe every third year. Deu_14:28; Deu_26:12. 3.) The five shekels for the redemption of each firstborn. Num_18:16. 4.) The redemption of persons or things especially vowed to Jehovah. Lev_27:5.) A five hundredth part of half the spoils of war.
Num_31:27; Num_28:6.) The show bread, the flesh of the sin offerings, peace offerings, trespass offerings, especially the heave shoulder and the wave breast. 7.) An undefined amount of the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil.

Shall be his — That is, the priest’s who ministers at the time. Thus Keil renders the tenth verse, “With regard to every man’s holy gifts, to him (the priest) shall they be; what any man gives to the priest shall belong to him.” Professor Bush interprets to him to signify the man who brings the gifts.

9. every heave-offering] every contribution. The Heb. terûmâh is derived from a root signifying ‘to lift up, or off,’ and denotes that which is lifted off from a larger mass, and separated or contributed for sacred purposes. LXX. in the Pentateuch renders it by ἀφαιρεμα. It is used of gifts taken from the produce of the earth (Num_15:19-21 (P ), Deu_12:6; Deu_12:11), of money, spoils, &c. dedicated to Jehovah (Num_31:19; Num_31:41; Num_31:52), of the Levites’ tithe (Num_18:24), of the priests’ share of the tithe (Num_18:26-29), of materials for the Tabernacle (Exo_25:2 f., Num_35:5; Num_35:21; Num_35:24) and for the second temple (Ezr_8:25), of the half shekel for defraying the expenses of the Tabernacle services (Exo_30:13 ff.), and even of land reserved for the priests and Levites (Eze_45:1; Eze_45:6, &c.). As applied to animal sacrifices, the term is employed only of the shoulder of the peace-offering (Num_6:20, Exo_29:27, Lev_7:34; Lev_10:14 f.). See Driver’s article ‘Offer’ in Hastings’ DB. iii. 588.
