Numbers 15:19

and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Yahweh speaks to the Israelites through Moses as they prepare to enter the land He is bringing them to.

The words — תְרוּמָ֖ה (te.ru.Mah) denotes a contribution, and תָּרִ֥ימוּ (ta.Ri.mu) commands you to lift it up.

The thread — This directive corresponds to Israel eating the produce of the land in Joshua 5:11.

Why it lands — The text commands the people to set aside a portion of their first harvest for Yahweh before consuming the food of the land.
