This is the portion of the offerings made by fire
on Leviticus 7:35-38
Verse 37 names the offerings in one line with the ordination offering, closing the run that began at chapter 1. Verse 38 places these laws on Mount Sinai, while Leviticus 1:1 has the LORD speaking from the Tent of Meeting.
This site's exposition
On the day they were anointed
The priests' share dates from the day of their anointing, and the LORD commanded Israel to give it as a permanent portion. John Wesley, on verse 35, holds that a portion appointed on that day was owed in every later age.

Which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children of Israel,....
Note, God will take care that those who are employed for him be well paid and well provided for. Those that receive the anointing of the Spirit to minister unto the Lord shall have their portion, and it shall be a worthy portion, out of the offerings of the Lord; for God's work is its own wages, and there is a present reward of obedience in obedience.
