1 # And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Aaron <0175>, Thou and thy sons <01121> and thy father's <01> house <01004> with thee shall bear <05375> (8799) the iniquity <05771> of the sanctuary <04720>: and thou and thy sons <01121> with thee shall bear <05375> (8799) the iniquity <05771> of your priesthood <03550>.
2 And thy brethren <0251> also of the tribe <04294> of Levi <03878>, the tribe <07626> of thy father <01>, bring <07126> (8685) thou with thee, that they may be joined <03867> (8735) unto thee, and minister <08334> (8762) unto thee: but thou and thy sons <01121> with thee shall minister before <06440> the tabernacle <0168> of witness <05715>.
3 And they shall keep <08104> (8804) thy charge <04931>, and the charge <04931> of all the tabernacle <0168>: only they shall not come nigh <07126> (8799) the vessels <03627> of the sanctuary <06944> and the altar <04196>, that neither they, nor ye also, die <04191> (8799).
4 And they shall be joined <03867> (8738) unto thee, and keep <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, for all the service <05656> of the tabernacle <0168>: and a stranger <02114> (8801) shall not come nigh <07126> (8799) unto you.
5 And ye shall keep <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of the sanctuary <06944>, and the charge <04931> of the altar <04196>: that there be no wrath <07110> any more upon the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
6 And I, behold, I have taken <03947> (8804) your brethren <0251> the Levites <03881> from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: to you they are given <05414> (8803) as a gift <04979> for the LORD <03068>, to do <05647> (8800) the service <05656> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>.
7 Therefore thou and thy sons <01121> with thee shall keep <08104> (8799) your priest's office <03550> for every thing <01697> of the altar <04196>, and within <01004> the vail <06532>; and ye shall serve <05647> (8804): I have given <05414> (8799) your priest's office <03550> unto you as a service <05656> of gift <04979>: and the stranger <02114> (8801) that cometh nigh <07131> shall be put to death <04191> (8714).
8 # And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Aaron <0175>, Behold, I also have given <05414> (8804) thee the charge <04931> of mine heave offerings <08641> of all the hallowed things <06944> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> ; unto thee have I given <05414> (8804) them by reason of the anointing <04888>, and to thy sons <01121>, by an ordinance <02706> for ever <05769>.
9 This shall be thine of the most <06944> holy things <06944>, reserved from the fire <0784>: every oblation <07133> of theirs, every meat offering <04503> of theirs, and every sin offering <02403> of theirs, and every trespass offering <0817> of theirs, which they shall render <07725> (8686) unto me, shall be most <06944> holy <06944> for thee and for thy sons <01121>.
10 In the most <06944> holy <06944> place shalt thou eat <0398> (8799) it; every male <02145> shall eat <0398> (8799) it: it shall be holy <06944> unto thee.
11 And this is thine; the heave offering <08641> of their gift <04976>, with all the wave offerings <08573> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: I have given <05414> (8804) them unto thee, and to thy sons <01121> and to thy daughters <01323> with thee, by a statute <02706> for ever <05769>: every one that is clean <02889> in thy house <01004> shall eat <0398> (8799) of it.
12 All the best <02459> of the oil <03323>, and all the best <02459> of the wine <08492>, and of the wheat <01715> , the firstfruits <07225> of them which they shall offer <05414> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, them have I given <05414> (8804) thee.
13 And whatsoever is first ripe <01061> in the land <0776>, which they shall bring <0935> (8686) unto the LORD <03068>, shall be thine; every one that is clean <02889> in thine house <01004> shall eat <0398> (8799) of it.
14 Every thing devoted <02764> in Israel <03478> shall be thine.
15 Every thing that openeth <06363> the matrix <07358> in all flesh <01320>, which they bring <07126> (8686) unto the LORD <03068>, whether it be of men <0120> or beasts <0929>, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn <01060> of man <0120> shalt thou surely <06299> (8800) redeem <06299> (8799), and the firstling <01060> of unclean <02931> beasts <0929> shalt thou redeem <06299> (8799).
16 And those that are to be redeemed <06299> (8803) from a month <02320> old <01121> shalt thou redeem <06299> (8799), according to thine estimation <06187>, for the money <03701> of five <02568> shekels <08255>, after the shekel <08255> of the sanctuary <06944>, which is twenty <06242> gerahs <01626>.
17 But the firstling <01060> of a cow <07794>, or the firstling <01060> of a sheep <03775>, or the firstling <01060> of a goat <05795>, thou shalt not redeem <06299> (8799); they are holy <06944>: thou shalt sprinkle <02236> (8799) their blood <01818> upon the altar <04196>, and shalt burn <06999> (8686) their fat <02459> for an offering made by fire <0801>, for a sweet <05207> savour <07381> unto the LORD <03068>.
18 And the flesh <01320> of them shall be thine, as the wave <08573> breast <02373> and as the right <03225> shoulder <07785> are thine.
19 All the heave offerings <08641> of the holy things <06944>, which the children <01121> of Israel <03478> offer <07311> (8686) unto the LORD <03068>, have I given <05414> (8804) thee, and thy sons <01121> and thy daughters <01323> with thee, by a statute <02706> for ever <05769>: it is a covenant <01285> of salt <04417> for ever <05769> before <06440> the LORD <03068> unto thee and to thy seed <02233> with thee.
20 # And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto Aaron <0175>, Thou shalt have no inheritance <05157> (8799) in their land <0776>, neither shalt thou have any part <02506> among <08432> them: I am thy part <02506> and thine inheritance <05159> among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
21 And, behold, I have given <05414> (8804) the children <01121> of Levi <03878> all the tenth <04643> in Israel <03478> for an inheritance <05159>, for <02500> their service <05656> which they serve <05647> (8802), even the service <05656> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>.
22 Neither must the children <01121> of Israel <03478> henceforth <05750> come nigh <07126> (8799) the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, lest they bear <05375> (8800) sin <02399>, and die <04191> (8800).
23 But the Levites <03881> shall do <05647> (8804) the service <05656> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, and they shall bear <05375> (8799) their iniquity <05771>: it shall be a statute <02708> for ever <05769> throughout your generations <01755>, that among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> they have <05157> (8799) no inheritance <05159>.
24 But the tithes <04643> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, which they offer <07311> (8686) as an heave offering <08641> unto the LORD <03068>, I have given <05414> (8804) to the Levites <03881> to inherit <05159>: therefore I have said <0559> (8804) unto them, Among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> they shall have <05157> (8799) no inheritance <05159>.
25 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800),
26 Thus speak <01696> (8762) unto the Levites <03881>, and say <0559> (8804) unto them, When ye take <03947> (8799) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> the tithes <04643> which I have given <05414> (8804) you from them for your inheritance <05159>, then ye shall offer <07311> (8689) up an heave offering <08641> of it for the LORD <03068>, even a tenth <04643> part of the tithe <04643>.
27 And this your heave offering <08641> shall be reckoned <02803> (8738) unto you, as though it were the corn <01715> of the threshingfloor <01637>, and as the fulness <04395> of the winepress <03342>.
28 Thus ye also shall offer <07311> (8686) an heave offering <08641> unto the LORD <03068> of all your tithes <04643> , which ye receive <03947> (8799) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>; and ye shall give <05414> (8804) thereof the LORD'S <03068> heave offering <08641> to Aaron <0175> the priest <03548>.
29 Out of all your gifts <04979> ye shall offer <07311> (8686) every heave offering <08641> of the LORD <03068> , of all the best <02459> thereof, even the hallowed part <04720> thereof out of it.
30 Therefore thou shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, When ye have heaved <07311> (8687) the best <02459> thereof from it, then it shall be counted <02803> (8738) unto the Levites <03881> as the increase <08393> of the threshingfloor <01637>, and as the increase <08393> of the winepress <03342>.
31 And ye shall eat <0398> (8804) it in every place <04725>, ye and your households <01004>: for it is your reward <07939> for <02500> your service <05656> in the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>.
32 And ye shall bear <05375> (8799) no sin <02399> by reason of it, when ye have heaved <07311> (8687) from it the best <02459> of it: neither shall ye pollute <02490> (8762) the holy things <06944> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> , lest ye die <04191> (8799).
