Exegesis

The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ăšer} ‘which’ with yashivu li {יָשִׁיבוּ לִי | yāšîḇū lî} ‘they bring to me’ restricts these offerings to those presented to God.

In contextNumbers 18:9

This shall be yours from the most holy things , reserved from the fire: all their offerings, all their grain offerings, all their sin offerings, and all their guilt offerings which they bring to Me . They shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
