Numbers 18:25-32

25Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26“Moreover, you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you take from the sons of Israel 1the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the Lord, a 2tithe of the tithe.

27Your offering shall be reckoned to you as the grain from the threshing floor or the full produce from the wine vat.

28So you shall also present an offering to the Lord from your tithes, which you receive from the sons of Israel; and from it you shall give the Lord’s offering to Aaron the priest.

29Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the Lord, from all the 3best of them, 4the sacred part from them.’

30You shall say to them, ‘When you have 5offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be reckoned to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor, and as the product of the wine vat.

31You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your compensation in return for your service in the tent of meeting.

32You will bear no sin by reason of it when you have 6offered the 7best of it. But you shall not 8profane the sacred gifts of the sons of Israel, or you will die.’”
