And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Now if the firstfruits offered up are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.

For if the firstfruit[ be] holy, the lump[ is] also[ holy]: and if the root[ be] holy, so[ are] the branches.

If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.

That’s what the Law requires.“ We will also bring the first part of the meal we grind. We’ll bring the first of our grain offerings. We’ll bring the first share of fruit from all our trees. And we’ll bring the first share of our olive oil and fresh wine. We’ll give all those things to the priests. They’ll put them in the storerooms of the house of our God.
