And whosoever toucheth any unclean soul or man whose seed runneth from him by night, ⁵ or whosoever toucheth any worm that is unclean to him, or man that is unclean to him, whatsoever uncleanness he hath: ⁶ the same soul that hath touched any such thing, shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the hallowed things until he have washed his flesh with water. ⁷ And then when the sun is down he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the hallowed things: for they are his food. ⁸ Of a beast that dieth alone or is rent with wild beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. ⁹ But let them keep therefore mine ordinance, lest they lade sin upon them and die therein when they have defiled themselves: for I am the LORD which sanctify them. ¹⁰ "'There shall no stranger eat of the hallowed things, neither a guest of the priests, or a hired servant. ¹¹ But if the priest buy any fowl with money he may eat of it, and he also that is born in his house may eat of his bread. ¹² If the priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the hallowed heave offerings. ¹³ Notwithstanding, if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, but is returned unto her father's house again, she shall eat of her father's bread as well as she did in her youth. But there shall no stranger eat thereof. ¹⁴ "'If a man eat of the hallowed things unwittingly, he shall put the fifth part thereunto, and make good unto the priest the hallowed thing. ¹⁵ And let the priests see, that they defile not the hallowed things of the children of Israel which they have offered unto the LORD, ¹⁶ lest they lade themselves with misdoing and trespass in eating their hallowed things, for I am the LORD which hallow them.'"

⁸ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, "Behold, I have given thee the keeping of mine heave offerings in all the hallowed things of the children of Israel. And unto thee I have given them unto anointing and to thy sons: to be a duty forever.

³ And this is the duty of the priests, of the people and of them that offer, whether it be ox or sheep: They must give unto the priest, the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw,

²⁹ Thy fruits, whether they be dry or moist, see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me:

¹⁹ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt also not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

²⁶ The first of the first fruits of thy land, thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. And see that thou seethe not a kid in his mother's milk."

¹⁴ "'If thou offer a meat offering of the first ripe fruits unto the LORD, then take of that which is yet green, and dry it by the fire and beat it small, and so offer the meat offering of thy first ripe fruits.

¹⁷ And ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves made of two tenth deals of fine flour, leavened and baken, for first fruits unto the LORD.

²⁰ And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits before the LORD, and with the two lambs. And they shall be holy unto the LORD, and be the priest's.

¹⁹ then when ye will eat of the bread of the land, ye shall give a heave offering unto the LORD. ²⁰ Ye shall give a cake of the first of your dough unto a heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the barn, even so ye shall heave it. ²¹ Of the first of your dough ye must give unto the LORD a heave offering, throughout your generations.

⁴ the first fruits of thy corn, wine and oil, and the first of thy sheep shearing must thou give him.

² take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou hast brought in out of the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee and put it in a maund and go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to make his name dwell there.

³⁵ and yearly to bring the firstlings of our land, and the firstlings of our fruits of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD: ³⁶ and the firstlings of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law: and the firstlings of our oxen and of our sheep, that we should bring all this to the house of our God unto the priests that minister in the house of our God: ³⁷ and that we should bring the firstlings of our dough, and our heave offerings, and the fruits of all manner of trees, of wine also and of oil, unto the priests to the chests the house of our God. And the tithes of our land unto the Levites, that the Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our ministration.

² In the one mound were very good figs, even like as those that be first ripe. In the other mound were very naughty figs, which might not be eaten they were so evil.

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, and saw their fathers as the first figs in the top of the fig tree. But they are gone to Baalpeor, and run away from me to that shameful Idol, and are become as abominable as their lovers.

¹ Woe is me! I am become as one that goeth a gleaning in the harvest. There are no more grapes to eat, yet would I fain, with all my heart, have of the best fruit.

²⁸ Notwithstanding, no dedicated thing that a man dedicateth unto the LORD, of all his goods — whether it be man or beast or land of his inheritance — shall be sold or redeemed: for all dedicated things are most holy unto the LORD.

²⁹ The meat offering, sin offering, and trespass offering shall they eat, and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

² "Sanctify unto me all the firstborn that open all manner matrices among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are mine."

¹² then thou shalt appoint unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and all the firstborn among the beasts which thou hast if they be males. ¹³ And all the firstborn of the asses, thou shalt redeem with a sheep: if thou redeem him not, then break his neck. But all the firstborn among thy children shalt thou buy out.

²⁰ But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou redeem him not: see thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me empty.

²⁶ "'But the firstborn of the beasts that pertain unto the LORD, may no man sanctify: whether it be ox or sheep, for they are the LORD's already. ²⁷ If it be an unclean beast, then let him redeem it as it is set at, and give the fifth part more thereto. If it be not redeemed, then let it be sold as it is rated.

¹³ Because all the firstborn are mine — for the same day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast, and mine they shall be: for I am the LORD."

⁴⁶ And for the redeeming of the two hundred and seventy three which are more than the Levites in the firstborn of the children of Israel,

¹³ And thus much shall every man give that goeth in the number: half a sicle, after the holy sicle: a sicle is twenty geras: and a half sicle shall be the heave offering unto the LORD.

² "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'If any man will give a singular vow unto the LORD according to the value of his soul, ³ then shall the male from twenty years unto sixty be set at fifty sicles of silver, after the sicle of the sanctuary, ⁴ and the female at thirty sicles. ⁵ And from five years to twenty the male shall be set at twenty sicles, and the female at ten sicles. ⁶ And from a month unto five years, the male shall be set at five sicles of silver, and the female at three. ⁷ And the man that is sixty and above, shall be valued at fifteen sicles, and the woman at ten.

²⁵ "'And all setting shall be according to the holy sicle. One sicle maketh twenty geras.

⁴⁷ take five sicles of every piece, after the sicles of the holy place; twenty geras; the sicles.

¹² One Sicle maketh twenty Gerahs. So twenty Sicles, and twenty five and fifteen Sicles make a Mina.

¹⁶ and cause him to be slain, and take of his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar,

² and let him put his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the door of the tabernacle of witness. And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. ³ And they shall offer of the peace offering, to be a sacrifice unto the LORD: the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is upon the inwards; ⁴ and the two kidneys with the fat that lieth upon the loins; and the caul that is on the liver, they shall take away with the kidneys. ⁵ And Aaron's sons shall burn them upon the altar with the burnt sacrifice which is upon the wood on the fire. That is a sacrifice of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

¹⁹ All the firstborn that come of thine oxen and of thy sheep that are males, thou shalt hallow unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt do no service with the firstborn of thy sheep: ²⁰ but shalt eat them before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD hath chosen, both thou and thine household. ²¹ If there be any deformity therein, whether it be lame or blind or whatsoever evil favouredness it hath, thou shalt not offer it unto the LORD thy God: ²² But shalt eat it in thine own city, the unclean and the clean indifferently, as the roe and the hart.

²⁶ Then take the breast of the ram that is Aaron's full offering and wave it, a wave offering before the LORD, and let that be thy part.

¹³ All thy meat offerings thou shalt salt with salt: neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: but upon all thine offerings thou shalt bring salt.

¹¹ And this shall be thine: the heave offering of their gifts, throughout all the wave offerings of the children of Israel, for I have given them unto thee and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, to be a duty forever: and all that are clean in thy house, shall eat of it,

²⁹ and ye shall take it of their half and give it unto Eleazar the priest, a heave offering unto the LORD.

⁴¹ And Moses gave that sum which was the LORD's heave offering unto Eleazar the priest: as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁵ Becometh it not you to know how the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom of Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons, with a salted covenant.

⁴ And he bade the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the part of the priests and Levites, that they might be maintained in the law of the LORD.

²³ And the Levites shall do the service in the tabernacle of witness and bear their sin, and it shall be a law forever unto your children after you: But among the children of Israel they shall inherit none inheritance. ²⁴ For the tithes of the children of Israel which they heave unto the LORD, I have given the Levites to inherit. Wherefore I have said unto them, 'Among the children of Israel ye shall inherit none inheritance.'"

⁶² And the number of them was twenty three thousand, of all the males from a month old and above. For they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

⁹ Wherefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance with their brethren. The LORD he is their inheritance, as the LORD thy God hath promised them.

¹² And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, both ye, your sons and your daughters, your servants and your maids and the Levite that is within your gates for he hath neither part nor inheritance with you.

²⁷ and the Levite that is in thy city. See thou forsake not the Levite, for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

²⁹ and the Levite shall come because he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow which are within thy city, and shall eat and fill themselves: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the works of thine hand which thou doest.

¹ The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel. The offerings of the LORD and his inheritance they shall eat, ² but shall have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD he is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

¹⁴ Only unto the tribe of Levi, he gave none inheritance: for the offering of the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance as he said unto them.

³³ But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave none inheritance, "For the LORD God of Israel he is their inheritance," as he said unto them.

³ For Moses had given inheritance unto two tribes and a half on the other side Jordan. But unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

⁷ The Levites have no part among you, for the priestship of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond Jordan Eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

⁵ The LORD himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup; thou shalt maintain my lot.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.

⁵ Therefore do I cry unto thee, O LORD, and say, "Thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living!"

²⁴ "The LORD is my portion," sayeth my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

²⁸ They shall have a heritage; yea, I myself will be their heritage: else shall ye give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

²¹ Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours, ²² whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours, ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God.

²⁰ And blessed be God the most highest, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hands." And Abram gave him tithes of all.

³⁰ "'All these tithes of the land, whether it be of the corn of the field or fruit of the trees, shall be holy unto the LORD. ³¹ If any man will redeem ought of his tithes, let him add the fifth part more thereto. ³² "'And the tithes of oxen and sheep and of all that goeth under the herdsman's keeping, shall be holy tithes unto the LORD. ³³ Men shall not look if it be good or bad nor shall change it. If any man change it then both it and that it was changed withal, shall be holy and may not be redeemed.'"

⁷ and upon all the multitude — before the tabernacle of witness, to do the service of the habitation. ⁸ And they shall wait upon all the apparel of the tabernacle of witness, and upon the children of Israel, to do the service of the habitation.

⁶ behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among children of Israel, to be yours, as gifts given unto the LORD to do the service of the tabernacle of witness.

²⁴ For the tithes of the children of Israel which they heave unto the LORD, I have given the Levites to inherit. Wherefore I have said unto them, 'Among the children of Israel ye shall inherit none inheritance.'" ²⁵ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁶ "Speak unto the Levites and say unto them, 'When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you of them to your inheritance, ye shall take a heave offering of that same for the LORD: even the tenth of that tithe.

¹⁷ Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine and of thy oil, either the firstborn of thine oxen or of thy sheep, neither any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings or heave offerings of thine hands: ¹⁸ but thou must eat them before the LORD thy God, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen: both thou, thy son and thy daughter, thy servant and thy maid and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, in all that thou puttest thine hand to. ¹⁹ And beware that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.

²² Thou shalt tithe all the increase of thy seed that cometh out of the field year by year. ²³ And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he hath chosen to make his name dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine and of thine oil, and the firstborn of thine oxen and of thy flock that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. ²⁴ If the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from the which the LORD thy God hath chosen to set his name there — for the LORD thy God hath blessed thee - ²⁵ then make it in money and take the money in thine hand, and go unto the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, ²⁶ and bestow that money on whatsoever thy soul lusteth after: on oxen, sheep, wine and good drink, and on whatsoever thy soul desireth, and eat there before the LORD thy God and be merry: both thou, and thine household, ²⁷ and the Levite that is in thy city. See thou forsake not the Levite, for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee. ²⁸ At the end of three years, thou shalt bring forth all the tithes of thine increase the same year and lay it up within thine own city, ²⁹ and the Levite shall come because he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow which are within thy city, and shall eat and fill themselves: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the works of thine hand which thou doest.

⁵ And as soon as the word came abroad the children of Israel brought abundance of first fruits of corn, wine, oil and honey, and of all manner of fruits of the field: and the tithes of all manner of things brought they in plenteously. ⁶ And the children of Israel and Judah that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of dedicated things which were dedicated to the LORD their God, and put them on heaps.

¹² and carried in the heave offerings and the tithes and the dedicated gifts; even of fidelity. Over which Conaniah the Levite had the rule with Shimei his brother next to him.

²⁹ and their lords that had rule of them, received it for their brethren. And they came to sware, and to bind themselves with an oath to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, that they would observe and do according unto all the commandments, judgments, and statutes of the LORD our God:

³⁷ and that we should bring the firstlings of our dough, and our heave offerings, and the fruits of all manner of trees, of wine also and of oil, unto the priests to the chests the house of our God. And the tithes of our land unto the Levites, that the Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our ministration.

⁴⁴ At the same time were there men appointed over the treasure chests - wherein were the Heave offerings, the firstlings and the tithes - that they should gather them out of the fields about the cities, to distribute them unto the priests and Levites according to the law: for Judah was glad of the priests, and Levites,

¹² Then brought all Judah the tithes of corn, wine and oil unto the treasury.

¹³ Do ye not understand how that they which minister in the temple, have their finding of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? ¹⁴ Even so also did the Lord ordain, that they which preach the gospel, should live of the gospel.

⁶ Let him that is taught in the word, minister unto him that teacheth him in all good things.

⁵ And verily those children of Levi, which receive the office of the priests, have a commandment to take according to the law, tithes of the people, that is to say, of their brethren, yea though they sprung out of the loins of Abraham.

²⁰ If a man lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's privities: they shall bear their sin, and shall die childless.

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle goeth forth, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is pitched, they shall set it up: for if any stranger come near, he shall die. ⁵² And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man in his own company and every man by his own standard throughout all their hosts.

⁷ and upon all the multitude — before the tabernacle of witness, to do the service of the habitation.

¹ And the LORD said unto Aaron, "Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee, shall bear the fault of that which is done amiss in the holy place. And thou and thy sons with thee, shall bear the fault of that which is done amiss in your priesthood.

²⁶ "Speak unto the Levites and say unto them, 'When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you of them to your inheritance, ye shall take a heave offering of that same for the LORD: even the tenth of that tithe.

⁸ Should a man use falsity and deceit with God, as ye use falsity and deceit with me? Yet ye say, 'Wherein use we deceit with thee?' In tithes and heave offerings. ⁹ Therefore are ye cursed with penury, because ye dissemble with me, all the sort of you. ¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness.

²¹ And behold, I have given the children of Levi the tenth in Israel to inherit, for the service which they serve in the tabernacle of witness,

³⁸ And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall with the Levites have also of the tithes of the Levites, so that the Levites shall bring up the tithes of their tithes unto the house of our God to the chest in the treasure house.

¹⁹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁰ "This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which he shall offer unto the LORD in the day when they are anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of flour, which is a daily meat offering perpetually; half in the morning and half at night: ²¹ and in the frying pan it shall be made with oil. And when it is fried, thou shalt bring it in as a baken meat offering minced small, and shalt offer it for a sweet savour unto the LORD. ²² And that priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead, shall offer it: and it shall be the LORD's duty forever, and it shall be burnt altogether. ²³ For all the meat offerings of the priests shall be burnt altogether, and shall not be eaten."

²⁰ Ye shall give a cake of the first of your dough unto a heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the barn, even so ye shall heave it.

³⁰ "And thou shalt say unto them, 'When ye have taken away the fat of it from it, it shall be counted unto the Levites, as the increase of corn and wine.

¹⁴ but shalt give him of thy sheep and of thy corn and of thy wine, and give him of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

²⁷ And he said, "Nay, the LORD help thee. But wherewith should I help thee, with corn or wine?"

¹ Do not thou triumph, O Israel; make no boasting more than the Heathen. For thou hast committed adultery against thy God: strange rewards hast thou loved, more than all the corn floors. ² Therefore shall they no more enjoy the corn floors and winepresses, and their sweet wine shall fail them.

¹⁸ Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he being the priest of the most highest God, blessed him, saying,

²⁰ whither the forerunner is for us entered in, I mean Jesus that is made a high priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ Then their father Israel said unto them, "If it must needs be so now: then do thus, take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a courtesy balm, and a courtesy of honey, spices and myrrh, dates and almonds.

²⁷ And it shall be reckoned unto you for your heave offering, even as though ye gave corn out of the barn or a full offering from the wine press. ²⁸ And of this manner ye shall heave a heave offering unto the LORD, of all your tithes which ye receive of the children of Israel, and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering unto Aaron the priest.

⁵ And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might.

⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase: ¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with sweet wine.

⁸ If ye offer the blind, is not that evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is not that evil? Yea offer it unto thy prince: shall he be content with thee, or accept thy person, sayeth the LORD of Hosts?

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

³⁷ He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.

⁸ Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ, ⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

²² Thou shalt tithe all the increase of thy seed that cometh out of the field year by year. ²³ And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he hath chosen to make his name dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine and of thine oil, and the firstborn of thine oxen and of thy flock that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

¹⁰ nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

⁷ And in the same house tarry still, eating and drinking such as they have. For the laborer is worthy of his reward. Go not from house to house:

¹⁰ Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope. ¹¹ If we sow unto you spiritual things: is it a great thing if we reap your carnal things? ¹² If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

¹³ For what is it wherein ye were inferiors unto other congregations? Except it be therein that I was not grievous unto you. Forgive me this wrong done unto you.

¹⁷ The elders that rule well are worthy of double honour, most specially they which labour in the word and in teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." And, "the laborer is worthy of his reward."

⁸ And he that eateth it shall bear his sin, because he hath defiled the hallowed things of the LORD, and that soul shall perish from among his people.

² "Bid Aaron and his sons that they abstain from the hallowed things of the children of Israel which they have hallowed unto me, that they pollute not mine holy name: for I am the LORD.

²² that the children of Israel henceforth come not nigh the tabernacle of witness, and bear sin and die.

⁷ In this: that ye offer unclean bread upon mine altar. And if ye will say, 'Wherein have we offered any unclean thing unto thee?' In this that ye say: the altar of the LORD is not to be regarded.

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁹ For he that eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lord's body.
