* "
To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance ,
in return for their service which they serve ,
their service in the tent of meeting .
*
And henceforth the people of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting ,
lest they bear sin and die .
*
But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting ,
and they shall bear their iniquity ;
it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations ;
and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance .
*
For the tithe of the people of Israel ,
which they present as an offering to the LORD ,
I have given to the Levites for an inheritance ;
therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel ."
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
* "
Moreover you shall say to the Levites , `
When you take from the people of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance ,
then you shall present an offering from it to the LORD ,
a tithe of the tithe .
*
And your offering shall be reckoned to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor ,
and as the fulness of the wine press .
*
So shall you also present an offering to the LORD from all your tithes ,
which you receive from the people of Israel ;
and from it you shall give the LORD '
s offering to Aaron the priest .
