Numbers 18:21-26

Rotherham(i) 21 And, unto the sons of Levi, lo! I have given all the tenth in Israel, for an inheritance,––the allotted portion for their laborious work which, they, are performing, the laborious work of the tent of meeting: 22 that the sons of Israel, come near no more, unto the tent of meeting,––to bear sin, to die. 23 So shall the Levites themselves, perform the laborious work of the tent of meeting, and, they, shall bear their iniquity, a statute age–abiding, unto your generations, and, in the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance. 24 Because, the tenth of the sons of Israel, which they shall offer up unto Yahweh as a heave–offering, have I given unto the Levites, as an inheritance,––for this cause, said I regarding them, In the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance. 25 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 26 Unto the Levites, therefore, shalt thou speak, and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them, as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave–offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.
