What does Numbers 18:27 mean?
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 ) .
