Números 18:31 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:31

And ye shall eat it in every place
In any of their tents or dwelling houses, not being obliged to eat it in the tabernacle, where the priests, were obliged to eat many of their holy things, and second tithes were only to be eaten at Jerusalem, ( Deuteronomy 14:22 Deuteronomy 14:23 ) ; but the Levites might eat theirs any where, in any place, clean or unclean, according to Jarchi; for, he says, it might be eaten even in a graveyard; but Aben Ezra much better, in a clean place, be that where it would:

ye, and your households;
they and their wives, their sons and daughters, their servants, whether bought or hired; and they might sell it to strangers, to purchase other necessaries with. The Targum of Jonathan interprets this of the priests; but the Levites only are plainly spoken of:

for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the
congregation;
which is said to encourage them in their work, and animate them to it, as well as to clear their right to such a maintenance against all objections; for the labourer is worthy of his reward, as those that labour in the word and doctrine are of theirs, ( 1 Timothy 5:17 1 Timothy 5:18 ) .

Números 18:31 In-Context

29 De todas as dádivas que vos forem feitas, oferecereis, do melhor delas, toda a oferta alçada do Senhor, a sua santa parte.

30 Portanto lhes dirás: Quando fizerdes oferta alçada do melhor dos dízimos, será ela computada aos levitas, como a novidade da eira e como a novidade do lagar.

31 E o comereis em qualquer lugar, vós e as vossas famílias; porque é a vossa recompensa pelo vosso serviço na tenda da revelação.

32 Pelo que não levareis sobre vós pecado, se tiverdes alçado o que deles há de melhor; e não profanareis as coisas sagradas dos filhos de Israel, para que não morrais.
