Numbers 18:27-32

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.'

30 "Say to the Levites, 'You must bring the best part. Then it will be considered as if you gave grain from a threshing floor. It will be considered as juice from a winepress.

31 You and your families can eat the rest of it anywhere. It is your pay for your work at the Tent of Meeting.

32 Bring the best part of what you receive. Then you will not be guilty of holding anything back. You will not make the holy offerings of the people of Israel "unclean." You will not die.' "
