Numbers 18:32

32 And if you always give the best part to the Lord, you will never be guilty. If you do not sin against the holy offerings of the Israelites, you will not die.'"

Numbers 18:32 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:32

And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it
Shall have no blame laid upon them, or guilt imputed to them, or punishment inflicted on them, on account of their having and enjoying their tithes and gifts:

when ye have heaved from it the best of it;
took out the tenth, and that the best, and given it to the priests; or otherwise they would be blameworthy, guilty, and liable to punishment:

neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel;
the gifts they have given for holy uses, and so are holy; which would be the case if they ate of them, or enjoyed them, without giving the priests the tenth part of them:

lest ye die;
for it seems such a neglect was punishable with death.

Numbers 18:32 In-Context

30 "Say to the Levites: 'When you present the best, it will be accepted as much as the grain and wine from the other people.
31 You and your families may eat all that is left anywhere, because it is your pay for your work in the Meeting Tent.
32 And if you always give the best part to the Lord, you will never be guilty. If you do not sin against the holy offerings of the Israelites, you will not die.'"
