29 You will present each gift offering to the LORD from all your gifts, from its best portions and its holiest parts.

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 It will be considered your gift offering, like the grain of the threshing floor and what fills the winepress.
28 In this way you will also present a gift offering to the LORD from all the one-tenth portions that you take from the Israelites. You will provide from it a gift offering to the LORD for Aaron the priest.
29 You will present each gift offering to the LORD from all your gifts, from its best portions and its holiest parts.
30 You will say to them: When you have presented the best portion, it will be considered for the Levites equivalent to the produce of the grain and the produce of the winepress.
31 You and your household may eat it anywhere, because it is payment for your service in the meeting tent.
