*
And the LORD spake unto Aaron ,
Behold ,
I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel ;
unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing ,
and to thy sons ,
by an ordinance for ever .
*
This shall be thine of the most holy things ,
reserved from the fire :
every oblation of theirs ,
every meat offering of theirs ,
and every sin offering of theirs ,
and every trespass offering of theirs ,
which they shall render unto me ,
shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons .
*
In the most holy place shalt thou eat it ;
every male shall eat it :
it shall be holy unto thee .
*
And this is thine ;
the heave offering of their gift ,
with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel :
I have given them unto thee ,
and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee ,
by a statute for ever :
every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it .
*
All the best of the oil ,
and all the best of the wine ,
and of the wheat ,
the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD ,
them have I given thee .
*
And whatsoever is first ripe in the land ,
which they shall bring unto the LORD ,
shall be thine ;
every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it .
*
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine .
*
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh ,
which they bring unto the LORD ,
whether it be of men or beasts ,
shall be thine :
nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem ,
and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem .
*
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem ,
according to thine estimation ,
for the money of five shekels ,
after the shekel of the sanctuary ,
which is twenty gerahs .
*
But the firstling of a cow ,
or the firstling of a sheep ,
or the firstling of a goat ,
thou shalt not redeem ;
they are holy :
thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar ,
and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire ,
for a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And the flesh of them shall be thine ,
as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine .
*
All the heave offerings of the holy things ,
which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD ,
have I given thee ,
and thy sons and thy daughters with thee ,
by a statute for ever :
it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee .
*
And the LORD spake unto Aaron ,
Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land ,
neither shalt thou have any part among them :
I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel .
*
And ,
behold ,
I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance ,
for their service which they serve ,
even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation ,
lest they bear sin ,
and die .
*
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and they shall bear their iniquity :
it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations ,
that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance .
*
But the tithes of the children of Israel ,
which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD ,
I have given to the Levites to inherit :
therefore I have said unto them ,
Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Thus speak unto the Levites ,
and say unto them ,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance ,
then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD ,
even a tenth part of the tithe .
*
And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you ,
as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor ,
and as the fulness of the winepress .
*
Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes ,
which ye receive of the children of Israel ;
and ye shall give thereof the LORD '
S heave offering to Aaron the priest .
*
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD ,
of all the best thereof ,
even the hallowed part thereof out of it .
*
Therefore thou shalt say unto them ,
When ye have heaved the best thereof from it ,
then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor ,
and as the increase of the winepress .
*
And ye shall eat it in every place ,
ye and your households :
for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it ,
when ye have heaved from it the best of it :
neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel ,
lest ye die .
