Numbers 18:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:27

And [this] your heave offering
The tithe of the tithe, which though not properly heaved or lifted up, as the heave offerings, strictly so called, were, any more than the tithe itself, ( Numbers 18:24 ) ; yet is so called, because separated to the use and service of the Lord, as they were:

shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the
threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress;
that is, it should be as acceptable to God as if they had fields and vineyards, threshing floors, and wine presses of their own, from whence corn and wine were taken, as the Israelites when they received their tithes from them; and what remained they had as good a right unto, and might make use of as their own, as well as they; see ( Numbers 18:30 ) .

Numbers 18:27 In-Context

25 The LORD said to Moses,

26 "Speak to the Levites. Say to them, 'You will receive the tenth from the people of Israel. I will give it to you as your share. When I do, you must give a tenth of that tenth as an offering to the Lord.

27 Your offering will be considered as if you gave grain from a threshing floor. It will be considered as juice from a winepress.

28 " 'In that way, you also will bring an offering to the Lord. You will bring it from the tenth you receive from the people of Israel. You must give the LORD's part to the priest Aaron. You must bring it from the tenth you receive.

29 You must bring to the LORD a part of everything that is given to you. It must be the best and holiest part.'
