Twenty-four priestly gifts

Résumé

In Judaism, the twenty-four priestly gifts are an enumeration of the various gifts which halakha requires to be given to Jewish priests (kohanim). These gifts were considered compensation for their service in the Temple in Jerusalem. The majority of these gifts were food items. Of these twenty-four gifts, ten gifts were given to the priests in the Temple, four were to be consumed by the priests in Jerusalem, and ten were to be given to the priests outside the land of Israel. Most of the gifts are not given today, because there is no Temple. For example, most practicing Jews today do not give first-born of their animals to modern Kohanim. Other practices may be followed, such as selling the mother animal to a non-Jew before it gives birth to the firstborn, and then buying back both the mother and the firstborn. According to the Tosefta, ten 'gifts' which were to be given to the Kohanim within the Temple area were portions of:

an animal brought as a sin offering
guilt offering
sacrifices of the communal peace offering
a bird brought in as a sin offering
the suspensive guilt offering (asham talui)
the olive oil offering of a metzora
the two loaves of bread (shtei halechem) brought on Shavuot
the showbread
the left-over portion of the meal offering
the left-over portion of grain from the omer offering Four further gifts to be given (or to be consumed) within the confines of the walls of Jerusalem were:
firstborn of any domestic kosher animal
Bikkurim (First-fruits)
the inner organs of certain offerings, that which is removed from the Nazirite offering
the skins of certain offerings Ten gifts which might be given (or consumed) outside of Jerusalem were:
Terumah gedolah
Terumat hamaaser - a tithe of the Levite's tithe
Challah (Dough offering)
the first shearing of the sheep
foreleg, cheeks and maw of all non-sanctified, ritually slaughtered domestic animals
Money given to redeem a firstborn son (Pidyon haben)
