Numbers 18:25

Numbers 18:25 In-Context

23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Yisra'el they shall have no inheritance.

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.
