  • Num 18:21-29 : 21 To the Levites, I have given every tithe in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting. 22 From now on, the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and die. 23 The Levites shall perform the duties of the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for their sins. This is a perpetual ordinance for your generations, but they shall not have any inheritance among the Israelites. 24 For I have given the Levites the tithes that the Israelites present as a contribution to the LORD as their inheritance. That is why I told them they shall have no inheritance among the Israelites. 25 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 26 Speak to the Levites and say to them: When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I have given you as your inheritance, you must present a contribution from it to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe. 27 Your contribution will be credited to you as though it were the grain from the threshing floor or the fullness from the wine press. 28 In the same way, you shall also present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites. From these, you are to give the LORD’s portion to Aaron the priest. 29 Out of all your gifts, you must present the very best part, the sacred portion, as an offering to the LORD.
