Numbers 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:29

Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of
the Lord
Not only out of their tithes, but out of whatsoever gifts were given by the Israelites to them, and out of the produce of the fields which belonged to their cities, ( Numbers 35:4 ) ; the Levites were to take a tenth, and bring it to the Lord as an heave offering; that is, they were to give it to the priests, to testify their gratitude for everything they had, and to sanctify the rest unto them, and confirm their right and title to it, and give them the free use of it:

of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof, out of it;
which was the tenth part, for that Was holy, as Aben Ezra says, and that was to be the best of it, which was always to be given to the Lord.

Numbers 18:29 In-Context

27 And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

28 So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

29 From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.

30 Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.

31 It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.
