Numbers 18:29-30

18:29 From all your gifts you must offer up every raised offering due ¹  the Lord, from all the best of it, and the holiest part of it.’ ² 

18:30 “Therefore you will say to them, ³  ‘When you offer up ⁴  the best of it, then it will be credited to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor and as the product of the winepress.

¹ tn The construction is “every raised offering of the Lord”; the genitive here is probably to be taken as a genitive of worth – the offering that is due the Lord.

² tn Or “its hallowed thing.”

³ tn The wording of this verse is confusing; it may be that it is addressed to the priests, telling them how to deal with the offerings of the Levites.

⁴ tn The clause begins with the infinitive construct with its preposition and suffixed subject serving to indicate the temporal clause.
