Deuteronomy 18:3

Provision for Priests and Levites

2Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.3This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.4You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.
