18:26 “You are to speak to the Levites, and you must tell them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you are to offer up ³  from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe.

¹ tn Heb “receive from them a rod, a rod from the house of a father.”

² tn Heb “from every leader of them according to their fathers’ house.”
