Settings

27 Your offering will be credited to you as if [it were your] grain from the threshing floor or the full harvest from the winepress.
28 You are to present an offering to the Lord from every tenth you receive from the Israelites. Give some of it to Aaron the priest as an offering to the Lord.
29 You must present the entire offering due the Lord from all your gifts. The best part of the tenth [a] is to be consecrated.
30 "Tell them further: Once you have presented the best part of the tenth, and it is credited to you Levites as the produce of the threshing floor or the winepress,
31 then you and your household may eat it anywhere. It is your wage in return for your work at the tent of meeting.
32 You will not incur guilt because of it once you have presented the best part of it, but you must not defile the Israelites' holy offerings, so that you will not die."
