Numbers 18:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:27

And [this] your heave offering
The tithe of the tithe, which though not properly heaved or lifted up, as the heave offerings, strictly so called, were, any more than the tithe itself, ( Numbers 18:24 ) ; yet is so called, because separated to the use and service of the Lord, as they were:

shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the
threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress;
that is, it should be as acceptable to God as if they had fields and vineyards, threshing floors, and wine presses of their own, from whence corn and wine were taken, as the Israelites when they received their tithes from them; and what remained they had as good a right unto, and might make use of as their own, as well as they; see ( Numbers 18:30 ) .

Numbers 18:27 In-Context

25 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26 You shall speak to the Levites, saying: When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them for your portion, you shall set apart an offering from it to the Lord, a tithe of the tithe.

27 It shall be reckoned to you as your gift, the same as the grain of the threshing floor and the fullness of the wine press.

28 Thus you also shall set apart an offering to the Lord from all the tithes that you receive from the Israelites; and from them you shall give the Lord's offering to the priest Aaron.

29 Out of all the gifts to you, you shall set apart every offering due to the Lord; the best of all of them is the part to be consecrated.
