Every true prophet who wishes to settle among you is “worthy of his food.”
Likewise, a true teacher, like the worker, is also worthy of his food.
Therefore, take every firstfruit of the produce of the winepress and threshing floor, and of the oxen and sheep, and give the firstfruits to the prophets, for they are your high priests.
But if you do not have a prophet, give to the poor.
Whenever you prepare bread, take the firstfruits and give them according to the commandment.
Likewise, when you open a jar of wine or oil, take the firstfruits and give them to the prophets.
From your money, clothing, and every possession, take the firstfruits, as seems best to you, and give them according to the commandment.
