Numbers 18:26-32

CLV(i) 26 As for the Levites, you shall speak and say to them:When you take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I give to you from them as your allotment, then you will raise up from it as a heave offering to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe. 27 Your heave offering will be reckoned to you like the grain from the threshing site and like the fullness from the wine vat. 28 So shall you also raise up the heave offering of Yahweh from all your tithes which you take from the sons of Israel; and from it you will offer the heave offering of Yahweh to Aaron the priest. 29 From all your gifts you shall raise up the whole heave offering of Yahweh of all its best, its hallowed part, from it. 30 And you will say to them:When you raise up its best from it, then it will be reckoned to the Levites like the yield of the threshing site and like the yield of the wine vat. 31 And you may eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is your hire, in exchange for your service in the tent of appointment. 32 You shall not bear sin on account of it when you have raised up its best from it; thus you do not violate the holy things of the sons of Israel, nor shall you die.
