利未記6:14-23

6:14 「素祭的條例乃是這樣：亞倫的子孫要在壇前把這祭獻在耶和華面前。
6:15 祭司要從其中─就是從素祭的細麵中─取出自己的一把，又要取些油和素祭上所有的乳香，燒在壇上，奉給耶和華為馨香素祭的紀念。
6:16 所剩下的，亞倫和他子孫要吃，必在聖處不帶酵而吃，要在會幕的院子裡吃。
6:17 烤的時候不可攙酵。這是從所獻給我的火祭中賜給他們的分，是至聖的，和贖罪祭並贖愆祭一樣。
6:18 凡獻給耶和華的火祭，亞倫子孫中的男丁都要吃這一分，直到萬代，作他們永得的分。摸這些祭物的，都要成為聖。」
6:19 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
6:20 「當亞倫受膏的日子，他和他子孫所要獻給耶和華的供物，就是細麵伊法十分之一，為常獻的素祭：早晨一半，晚上一半。
6:21 要在鐵鏊上用油調和做成，調勻了，你就拿進來；烤好了分成塊子，獻給耶和華為馨香的素祭。
6:22 亞倫的子孫中，接續他為受膏的祭司，要把這素祭獻上，要全燒給耶和華。這是永遠的定例。
6:23 祭司的素祭都要燒了，卻不可吃。」

¹⁴ “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. ¹⁵ The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. ¹⁶ Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast in the sanctuary area; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the food offerings presented to me. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy. ¹⁸ Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. For all generations to come it is his perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.’”
¹⁹ The Lord also said to Moses, ²⁰ “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. ²¹ It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. ²² The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. ²³ Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”

    祭司雖然是承受聖職，仍然要有十一奉獻，正如20節所說：「當亞倫受膏的日子，他和他子孫所要獻給耶和華的供物，就是細麵伊法十分之一，為常獻的素祭：早晨一半，晚上一半。」而且在22-23節說：「亞倫的子孫中，接續他為受膏的祭司，要把這素祭獻上，要全燒給耶和華。這是永遠的定例。祭司的素祭都要燒了，卻不可吃。」

    而這樣的原則也適用於今日的教會，尤其是牧者或教會聘請的幹事、詩班指揮、清潔人員，也都要遵守這個要求，每個月要將收入得十分之一奉獻給教會，好讓教會的弟兄姊妹明白，十分之一事當納的，不可以討價還價喔！

    廣義的來說，教會的弟兄姊妹也是祭司，更是要遵守十一奉獻，來見證與感謝上帝在我們身上的救恩！
