Kohen - The Twenty-four Kohanic Gifts

The Twenty-four Kohanic Gifts

The Kohanim were compensated for their service to the nation and in the Temple through the twenty-four kohanic gifts. Of these 24 gifts, 10 are listed as to be given even outside the land of Israel. An example of the gifts given to the Kohen in the Diaspora are most notably the five coins of the Pidyon haben ceremony, and the Giving of the foreleg, cheeks and abomasum from each Kosher-slaughtered animal.
