  1. Mitzvos relating to the Levites and Kohanim:
    • Inheritance: The tribe of Levi shall not receive a portion in Eretz Yisrael. His portion is the sacrifices of G-d.
    • The arm, jaw, and stomach presents: The Kohen receives the rights towards the arm, jaw (including the tongue) and stomach of a slaughtered animal of the people, whether oxen or sheep. One is to give it to the Kohen.
    • Teruma: The Kohen is to be given the first of your grain, wine, and oil [i.e. Teruma Gedola].
    • Reishis Hageiz: One is to give the Kohen the first sharing of wool from the sheep as Hashem has chosen him from amongst your tribes to serve Him.
