Numbers 18

1And the Yahuah said unto Aaron, you and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 2And your brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined unto you, and minister unto you: but you and your sons with you before the tabernacle of witness. 3And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die. 4And they shall be joined unto you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. 5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. 6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you given a gift for the Yahuah, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7Therefore you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 8And the Yahuah spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given you the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance for ever. 9This shall be your of the most holy things, from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, most holy for you and for your sons. 10In the most holy shall you eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto you. 11And this your; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it. 12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Yahuah, them have I given you. 13whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the Yahuah, shall be your; every one that is clean in your house shall eat it. 14Every thing devoted in Israel shall be your. 15Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Yahuah, of men or beasts, shall be your: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shall you redeem. 16And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which twenty gerahs. 17But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Yahuah. 18And the flesh of them shall be your, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are your. 19All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the Yahuah, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it a covenant of salt for ever before the Yahuah unto you and to your seed with you. 20And the Yahuah spake unto Aaron, you shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them: I your part and your inheritance among the children of Israel. 21And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. 23But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. 24But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer an heave offering unto the Yahuah, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 25And the Yahuah spake unto Moses, saying, 26Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Yahuah, a tenth of the tithe. 27And your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. 28Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the Yahuah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the Yahuah'S heave offering to Aaron the priest. 29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the Yahuah, of all the best thereof, the hallowed part thereof out of it. 30Therefore you shall say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress. 31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
