This week we read of the twenty four gifts that G-d allocated to the Kohanim (priests): the first born animals, the first fruits, the 'show' bread, tithes of produce, first shearings, redemption money of first born sons, portions of many sacrifices and more.
Rashi tells us (our portion 18:8) that these gifts are listed here because our weekly portion tells the story of how an evil genius named Korach almost succeeded in usurping Aaron and taking the Priesthood into his own hands.
