Numbers 18:6-32

18:6

And I, behold, I have taken
<03947> (8804)

your brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

from among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

to you [they are] given
<05414> (8803)

[as] a gift
<04979>

for the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<05647> (8800)

the service
<05656>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_.

18:7

Therefore thou and thy sons
<01121>

with thee shall keep
<08104> (8799)

your priest's office
<03550>

for every thing
<01697>

of the altar
<04196>_,

and within
<01004>

the vail
<06532>_;

and ye shall serve
<05647> (8804)_:

I have given
<05414> (8799)

your priest's office
<03550>

[unto you] as a service
<05656>

of gift
<04979>_:

and the stranger
<02114> (8801)

that cometh nigh
<07131>

shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

18:8

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Aaron
<0175>_,

Behold, I also have given
<05414> (8804)

thee the charge
<04931>

of mine heave offerings
<08641>

of all the hallowed things
<06944>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

unto thee have I given
<05414> (8804)

them by reason of the anointing
<04888>_,

and to thy sons
<01121>_,

by an ordinance
<02706>

for ever
<05769>_.

18:9

This shall be thine of the most
<06944>

holy things
<06944>_,

[reserved] from the fire
<0784>_:

every oblation
<07133>

of theirs, every meat offering
<04503>

of theirs, and every sin offering
<02403>

of theirs, and every trespass offering
<0817>

of theirs, which they shall render
<07725> (8686)

unto me, [shall be] most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

for thee and for thy sons
<01121>_.

18:10

In the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place] shalt thou eat
<0398> (8799)

it; every male
<02145>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it: it shall be holy
<06944>

unto thee.

18:11

And this [is] thine; the heave offering
<08641>

of their gift
<04976>_,

with all the wave offerings
<08573>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

I have given
<05414> (8804)

them unto thee, and to thy sons
<01121>

and to thy daughters
<01323>

with thee, by a statute
<02706>

for ever
<05769>_:

every one that is clean
<02889>

in thy house
<01004>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

of it.

18:12

All the best
<02459>

of the oil
<03323>_,

and all the best
<02459>

of the wine
<08492>_,

and of the wheat
<01715>_,

the firstfruits
<07225>

of them which they shall offer
<05414> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

them have I given
<05414> (8804)

thee. {best: Heb. fat}

18:13

[And] whatsoever is first ripe
<01061>

in the land
<0776>_,

which they shall bring
<0935> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

shall be thine; every one that is clean
<02889>

in thine house
<01004>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] it.

18:14

Every thing devoted
<02764>

in Israel
<03478>

shall be thine.

18:15

Every thing that openeth
<06363>

the matrix
<07358>

in all flesh
<01320>_,

which they bring
<07126> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

[whether it be] of men
<0120>

or beasts
<0929>_,

shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn
<01060>

of man
<0120>

shalt thou surely
<06299> (8800)

redeem
<06299> (8799)_,

and the firstling
<01060>

of unclean
<02931>

beasts
<0929>

shalt thou redeem
<06299> (8799)_.

18:16

And those that are to be redeemed
<06299> (8803)

from a month
<02320>

old
<01121>

shalt thou redeem
<06299> (8799)_,

according to thine estimation
<06187>_,

for the money
<03701>

of five
<02568>

shekels
<08255>_,

after the shekel
<08255>

of the sanctuary
<06944>_,

which [is] twenty
<06242>

gerahs
<01626>_.

18:17

But the firstling
<01060>

of a cow
<07794>_,

or the firstling
<01060>

of a sheep
<03775>_,

or the firstling
<01060>

of a goat
<05795>_,

thou shalt not redeem
<06299> (8799)_;

they [are] holy
<06944>_:

thou shalt sprinkle
<02236> (8799)

their blood
<01818>

upon the altar
<04196>_,

and shalt burn
<06999> (8686)

their fat
<02459>

[for] an offering made by fire
<0801>_,

for a sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

18:18

And the flesh
<01320>

of them shall be thine, as the wave
<08573>

breast
<02373>

and as the right
<03225>

shoulder
<07785>

are thine.

18:19

All the heave offerings
<08641>

of the holy things
<06944>_,

which the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

offer
<07311> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

have I given
<05414> (8804)

thee, and thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

with thee, by a statute
<02706>

for ever
<05769>_:

it [is] a covenant
<01285>

of salt
<04417>

for ever
<05769>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

unto thee and to thy seed
<02233>

with thee.

18:20

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Aaron
<0175>_,

Thou shalt have no inheritance
<05157> (8799)

in their land
<0776>_,

neither shalt thou have any part
<02506>

among
<08432>

them: I [am] thy part
<02506>

and thine inheritance
<05159>

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

18:21

And, behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

the children
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>

all the tenth
<04643>

in Israel
<03478>

for an inheritance
<05159>_,

for
<02500>

their service
<05656>

which they serve
<05647> (8802)_,

[even] the service
<05656>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_.

18:22

Neither must the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

henceforth
<05750>

come nigh
<07126> (8799)

the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

lest they bear
<05375> (8800)

sin
<02399>_,

and die
<04191> (8800)_.

{and die: Heb. to die}

18:23

But the Levites
<03881>

shall do
<05647> (8804)

the service
<05656>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

and they shall bear
<05375> (8799)

their iniquity
<05771>_:

[it shall be] a statute
<02708>

for ever
<05769>

throughout your generations
<01755>_,

that among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

they have
<05157> (8799)

no inheritance
<05159>_.

18:24

But the tithes
<04643>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they offer
<07311> (8686)

[as] an heave offering
<08641>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

I have given
<05414> (8804)

to the Levites
<03881>

to inherit
<05159>_:

therefore I have said
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

they shall have
<05157> (8799)

no inheritance
<05159>_.

18:25

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

18:26

Thus speak
<01696> (8762)

unto the Levites
<03881>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, When ye take
<03947> (8799)

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

the tithes
<04643>

which I have given
<05414> (8804)

you from them for your inheritance
<05159>_,

then ye shall offer
<07311> (8689)

up an heave offering
<08641>

of it for the LORD
<03068>_,

[even] a tenth
<04643>

[part] of the tithe
<04643>_.

18:27

And [this] your heave offering
<08641>

shall be reckoned
<02803> (8738)

unto you, as though [it were] the corn
<01715>

of the threshingfloor
<01637>_,

and as the fulness
<04395>

of the winepress
<03342>_.

18:28

Thus ye also shall offer
<07311> (8686)

an heave offering
<08641>

unto the LORD
<03068>

of all your tithes
<04643>_,

which ye receive
<03947> (8799)

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and ye shall give
<05414> (8804)

thereof the LORD'S
<03068>

heave offering
<08641>

to Aaron
<0175>

the priest
<03548>_.

18:29

Out of all your gifts
<04979>

ye shall offer
<07311> (8686)

every heave offering
<08641>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

of all the best
<02459>

thereof, [even] the hallowed part
<04720>

thereof out of it. {best: Heb. fat}

18:30

Therefore thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, When ye have heaved
<07311> (8687)

the best
<02459>

thereof from it, then it shall be counted
<02803> (8738)

unto the Levites
<03881>

as the increase
<08393>

of the threshingfloor
<01637>_,

and as the increase
<08393>

of the winepress
<03342>_.

{best: Heb. fat}

18:31

And ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)

it in every place
<04725>_,

ye and your households
<01004>_:

for it [is] your reward
<07939>

for
<02500>

your service
<05656>

in the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_.

18:32

And ye shall bear
<05375> (8799)

no sin
<02399>

by reason of it, when ye have heaved
<07311> (8687)

from it the best
<02459>

of it: neither shall ye pollute
<02490> (8762)

the holy things
<06944>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

lest ye die
<04191> (8799)_.
