24
For the tithe of the children of Yisra'el, which they offer as a heave-offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Yisra'el they shall have no inheritance.
25
The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
26
Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, When you take of the children of Yisra'el the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave-offering of it for the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.
27
Your heave-offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
28
Thus you also shall offer a heave-offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Yisra'el; and of it you shall give the LORD's heave-offering to Aharon the Kohen.
29
Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave-offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, even the holy part of it out of it.
30
Therefore you shall tell them, When you heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
31
You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
32
You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it the best of it: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, that you not die.
