Numbers 18:26

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 ¹  from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe.

Exodus 29:27

29:27 You are to sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, ²  which were waved and lifted up as a contribution from the ram of consecration, from what belongs to Aaron and to his sons.

Deuteronomy 12:12

12:12 You shall rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God, along with your sons, daughters, male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages ³  (since they have no allotment or inheritance with you). ⁴ 

Deuteronomy 12:19

12:19 Be careful not to overlook the Levites as long as you live in the land.

[18:26]  ¹ tn The verb in this clause is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive; it has the same force as an imperfect of instruction: “when…then you are to offer up.”

[29:27]  ² sn These are the two special priestly offerings: the wave offering (from the verb “to wave”) and the “presentation offering” (older English: heave offering; from a verb “to be high,” in Hiphil meaning “to lift up,” an item separated from the offering, a contribution). The two are then clarified with two corresponding relative clauses containing two Hophals: “which was waved and which was presented.” In making sacrifices, the breast and the thigh belong to the priests.

[12:12]  ³ tn Heb “within your gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “who belongs to your community.”

[12:12]  ⁴ sn They have no allotment or inheritance with you. See note on the word “inheritance” in Deut 10:9.
