And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Aaron,{H175} Thou and thy sons{H1121} and thy fathers'{H1} house{H1004} with thee shall bear{H5375} the iniquity{H5771} of the sanctuary;{H4720} and thou and thy sons{H1121} with thee shall bear{H5375} the iniquity{H5771} of your priesthood.{H3550}

And thy brethren{H251} also, the tribe{H4294} of Levi,{H3878} the tribe{H4294} of thy father,{H1} bring{H7126} thou near with thee, that they may be joined{H3867} unto thee, and minister{H8334} unto thee: but thou and thy sons{H1121} with thee shall be before{H6440} the tent{H168} of the testimony.{H5715}

And they shall keep{H8104} thy charge,{H4931} and the charge{H4931} of all the Tent:{H168} only they shall not come nigh{H7126} unto the vessels{H3627} of the sanctuary{H6944} and unto the altar,{H4196} that they die{H4191} not, neither they, nor ye.

And they shall be joined{H3867} unto thee, and keep{H8104} the charge{H4931} of the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} for all the service{H5656} of the Tent:{H168} and a stranger{H2114} shall not come nigh{H7126} unto you.

And ye shall keep{H8104} the charge{H4931} of the sanctuary,{H6944} and the charge{H4931} of the altar;{H4196} that there be wrath{H7110} no more upon the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And I, behold, I have taken{H3947} your brethren{H251} the Levites{H3881} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478} to you they are a gift,{H4979} given{H5414} unto Jehovah,{H3068} to do{H5647} the service{H5656} of the tent{H168} of meeting.{H4150}

And thou and thy sons{H1121} with thee shall keep{H8104} your priesthood{H3550} for everything{H1697} of the altar,{H4196} and for that within{H1004} the veil;{H6532} and ye shall serve:{H5647} I give{H5414} you the priesthood{H3550} as a service{H5656} of gift:{H4979} and the stranger{H2114} that cometh nigh{H7131} shall be put to death.{H4191}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Aaron,{H175} And I, behold, I have given{H5414} thee the charge{H4931} of my heave-offerings,{H8641} even all the hallowed things{H6944} of the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} unto thee have I given{H5414} them by reason of the anointing,{H4888} and to thy sons,{H1121} as a portion{H2706} for ever.{H5769}

This shall be thine of the most{H6944} holy things,{H6944} [reserved] from the fire:{H784} every oblation{H7133} of theirs, even every meal-offering{H4503} of theirs, and every sin-offering{H4503} of theirs, and every trespass-offering{H817} of theirs, which they shall render{H7725} unto me, shall be most{H6944} holy{H6944} for thee and for thy sons.{H1121}

As the most{H6944} holy{H6944} things shalt thou eat{H398} thereof; every male{H2145} shall eat{H398} thereof: it shall be holy{H6944} unto thee.

And this is thine: the heave-offering{H8641} of their gift,{H4976} even all the wave-offerings{H8573} of the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} I have given{H5414} them unto thee, and to thy sons{H1121} and to thy daughters{H1323} with thee, as a portion{H2706} for ever;{H5769} every one that is clean{H2889} in thy house{H1004} shall eat{H398} thereof.

All the best{H2459} of the oil,{H3323} and all the best{H2459} of the vintage,{H8492} and of the grain,{H1715} the first-fruits{H7225} of them which they give{H5414} unto Jehovah,{H3068} to thee have I given{H5414} them.

The first-ripe{H1061} fruits of all that is in their land,{H776} which they bring{H935} unto Jehovah,{H3068} shall be thine; every one that is clean{H2889} in thy house{H1004} shall eat{H398} thereof.

Everything devoted{H2764} in Israel{H3478} shall be thine.

Everything that openeth{H6363} the womb,{H7358} of all flesh{H1320} which they offer{H7126} unto Jehovah,{H3068} both of man{H120} and beast{H929} shall be thine: nevertheless the first-born{H1060} of man{H120} shalt thou surely{H6299} redeem,{H6299} and the firstling{H1060} of unclean{H2931} beasts{H929} shalt thou redeem.{H6299}

And those that are to be redeemed{H6299} of them from a month{H2320} old{H1121} shalt thou redeem,{H6299} according to thine estimation,{H6187} for the money{H3701} of five{H2568} shekels,{H8255} after the shekel{H8255} of the sanctuary{H6944} (the same is twenty{H6242} gerahs).{H1626}

But the firstling{H1060} of a cow,{H7794} or the firstling{H1060} of a sheep,{H3775} or the firstling{H1060} of a goat,{H5795} thou shalt not redeem;{H6299} they are holy:{H6944} thou shalt sprinkle{H2236} their blood{H1818} upon the altar,{H4196} and shalt burn{H6999} their fat{H2459} for an offering made by fire,{H801} for a sweet{H5207} savor{H7381} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

And the flesh{H1320} of them shall be thine, as the wave -{H8573} breast{H2373} and as the right{H3225} thigh,{H7785} it shall be thine.

All the heave-offerings{H8641} of the holy things,{H6944} which the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} offer{H7311} unto Jehovah,{H3068} have I given{H5414} thee, and thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters{H1323} with thee, as a portion{H2706} for ever:{H5769} it is a covenant{H1285} of salt{H4417} for ever{H5769} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} unto thee and to thy seed{H2233} with thee.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Aaron,{H175} Thou shalt have no inheritance{H5157} in their land,{H776} neither shalt thou have any portion{H2506} among{H8432} them: I am thy portion{H2506} and thine inheritance{H5159} among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And unto the children{H1121} of Levi,{H3878} behold, I have given{H5414} all the tithe in Israel{H3478} for{H2500} an inheritance,{H5159} in return for{H2500} their service{H5656} which they serve,{H5647} even the service{H5656} of the tent{H168} of meeting.{H4150}

And henceforth{H5750} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} shall not come nigh{H7126} the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} lest they bear{H5375} sin,{H2399} and die.{H4191}

But the Levites{H3881} shall do{H5647} the service{H5656} of the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} and they shall bear{H5375} their iniquity:{H5771} it shall be a statute{H2708} for ever{H5769} throughout your generations;{H1755} and among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} they shall have{H5157} no inheritance.{H5159}

For the tithe{H4643} of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} which they offer{H7311} as a heave-offering{H8641} unto Jehovah,{H3068} I have given{H5414} to the Levites{H3881} for an inheritance:{H5159} therefore I have said{H559} unto them, Among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} they shall have{H5157} no inheritance.{H5159}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Moreover thou shalt speak{H1696} unto the Levites,{H3881} and say{H559} unto them, When ye take{H3947} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} the tithe{H4643} which I have given{H5414} you from them for your inheritance,{H5159} then ye shall offer{H7311} up a heave-offering{H8641} of it for Jehovah,{H3068} a tithe{H4643} of the tithe.{H4643}

And your heave-offering{H8641} shall be reckoned{H2803} unto you, as though it were the grain{H1715} of the threshing-floor,{H1637} and as the fulness{H4395} of the winepress.{H3342}

Thus ye also shall offer{H7311} a heave-offering{H8641} unto Jehovah{H3068} of all your tithes,{H4643} which ye receive{H3947} of the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} and thereof ye shall give{H5414} Jehovah's{H3068} heave-offering{H8641} to Aaron{H175} the priest.{H3548}

Out of all your gifts{H4979} ye shall offer{H7311} every heave-offering{H8641} of Jehovah,{H3068} of all the best{H2459} thereof, even the hallowed part{H4720} thereof out of it.

Therefore thou shalt say{H559} unto them, When ye heave{H7311} the best{H2459} thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned{H2803} unto the Levites{H3881} as the increase{H8393} of the threshing-floor,{H1637} and as the increase{H8393} of the wine-press.{H3342}

And ye shall eat{H398} it in every place,{H4725} ye and your households:{H1004} for it is your reward{H7939} in return for{H2500} your service{H5656} in the tent{H168} of meeting.{H4150}

And ye shall bear{H5375} no sin{H2399} by reason of it, when ye have heaved{H7311} from it the best{H2459} thereof: and ye shall not profane{H2490} the holy things{H6944} of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} that ye die{H4191} not.
