Numbers 18:15-32

1512EveryH3605 firstbornH6363 of the wombH7358 of allH3605 fleshH1320, whether humanH120 or animalH929, whichH834 they offerH7126 to the LordH3068, shall be yours; howeverH389 you mustH6299 redeemH6299 the humanH120 firstbornH1060, and the firstbornH1060 of uncleanH2931 animalsH929 you shall redeemH6299. 16As to 3their redemptionH6302 priceH6302, from a monthH2320 oldH1121 you shall redeemH6299 them, by your assessmentH6187, fiveH2568 4shekelsH8255 in silverH3701 by the 5shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944, whichH1931 is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626. 17But 6the firstbornH1060 of an oxH7794, the firstbornH1060 of a sheepH3775, orH176 the firstbornH1060 of a goatH5795, you shall not redeemH6299; they are holyH6944. 7You shall sprinkleH2236 their bloodH1818 on the altarH4196 and offerH6999 upH6999 their fatH2459 inH6999 smokeH6999 as an offeringH801 byH801 fireH801, for a soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LordH3068. 18However, their 8meatH1320 shall be yours; it shall be yours like the 9breastH2373 of a waveH8573 offeringH8573 and like the rightH3225 thighH7785. 1910AllH3605 the offeringsH8641 of the holyH6944 gifts, whichH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 offerH7311 to the LordH3068, I have givenH5414 to you and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 with you, as a permanentH5769 allotmentH2706. It is 11a permanentH5769 covenantH1285 of saltH4417 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 to you and your 12descendantsH2233 with you.” 20Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to AaronH175, “13You shall have noH3808 inheritanceH5157 in their landH776 norH3808 ownH1961 any portionH2506 amongH8432 them; 14I am your portionH2506 and your inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

21“To the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, beholdH2009, I have givenH5414 allH3605 the 15titheH4643 in IsraelH3478 as an inheritanceH5159, inH2500 returnH2500 forH2500 their serviceH5656 whichH834 they performH5647, the serviceH5656 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 22And 16the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall not comeH7126 nearH7126 the tentH168 of meetingH4150 againH5750, or they will bringH5375 sinH2399 on themselves and dieH4191. 23Only the LevitesH3881 shall performH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and they shall 17bearH5375 their own guiltH5771; it shall be a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755, and amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 18they shall haveH5157 noH3808 inheritanceH5159. 24For the titheH4643 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 they offerH7311 as an offeringH8641 to the LordH3068, I have givenH5414 to the LevitesH3881 as an inheritanceH5159; thereforeH5921H3651 I have saidH559 concerning them, ‘19They shall haveH5157 noH3808 inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.’”

25Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 26“Moreover, you shall speakH1696 to the LevitesH3881 and sayH559 to them, ‘WhenH3588 you takeH3947 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 20the titheH4643 whichH834 I have givenH5414 you from them for your inheritanceH5159, then you shall presentH7311 an offeringH8641 from it to the LordH3068, a 21titheH4643 of the titheH4643. 27Your offeringH8641 shall be creditedH2803 to you like the grainH1715 from the threshingH1637 floorH1637 or the fullH4395 produceH4395 from the wineH3342 vatH3342. 28SoH3651 you shall alsoH1571 presentH7311 an offeringH8641 to the LordH3068 from allH3605 your tithesH4643, whichH834 you receiveH3947 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and from it you shall giveH5414 the Lord’sH3068 offeringH8641 to AaronH175 the priestH3548. 29Out of allH3605 your giftsH4979 you shall presentH7311 everyH3605 offeringH8641 due to the LordH3068, from allH3605 the 22bestH2459 of them, 23the sacredH4720 partH4720 from them.’ 30And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘When you have 24offeredH7311 from it the bestH2459 of it, then the rest shall be creditedH2803 to the LevitesH3881 like the productH8393 of the threshingH1637 floorH1637, and like the productH8393 of the wineH3342 vatH3342. 31You may eatH398 it anywhereH3605H4725, you and your householdsH1004, for it is your compensationH7939 inH2500 returnH2500 forH2500 your serviceH5656 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 32And you will bringH5375 on yourselves noH3808 sinH2399 byH5921 reasonH5921 ofH5921 it when you have 25offeredH7311 the 26bestH2459 of it. But you shall not 27profaneH2490 the sacredH6944 giftsH6944 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that you do not dieH4191.’”
