Numbers 18

18 And Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and the house of your father with you shall lift up the iniquity of the holy place, and you and your sons with you shall lift up the iniquity of your priesthood. 2 And also bring near with you your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, and they shall be joined to you and shall minister to you. And you and your sons with you shall be to the face of the tent of the Testimony. 3 And they shall keep your keeping and the keeping of all the tent. Only to the vessels of the holy place and to the altar they shall not come near, so they will not die, both they and you. 4 And they shall be joined to you, and they shall keep the keeping of the tent of meeting for all the service of the tent. And a stranger shall not come near to you. 5 And you shall keep the keeping of the holy place and the keeping of the altar, and there shall not be again wrath against the sons of Israel. 6 And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, a gift for you, given to Yahweh, to serve the service of the tent of meeting. 7 And you and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for every matter of the altar and for inside the veil, and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a service of a gift. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”

8 And Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “And I, behold, I have given to you the keeping of my contributions, for all the holy things of the sons of Israel. To you I have given them for a portion and to your sons for a statute of eternity. 9 This shall be for you from the holy thing of the holy things, from the fire: every offering of theirs, for every grain offering of theirs and for every sin offering of theirs and for every guilt offering of theirs which they return to me. It is a holy thing of holy things for you and for your sons. 10 In the holy of holies you shall eat it. Every male shall eat it. It shall be holy for you. 11 And this is for you: the contribution of their gift, for all the raised offerings of the sons of Israel. To you I have given them and to your sons and to your daughters with you for a statute of eternity. Every clean one in your house shall eat it. 12 All the fat of the oil and all the fat of the new wine and grain, their firstfruits which they give to Yahweh, to you I have given them. 13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land which they bring to Yahweh shall be for you. Every clean one in your house shall eat it. 14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be for you. 15 Every opener of the womb for all flesh which they present to Yahweh, among the man and among the animal, shall be for you. Only redeeming you shall redeem the firstborn of the man, and the firstborn of the unclean animal you shall redeem. 16 And his redeemed ones from a son of a month you shall redeem by your valuation, silver of five shekels, by the shekel of the holy place (it is 20 gerahs). 17 Only a firstborn of an ox or a firstborn of a sheep or a firstborn of a goat you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall splash their blood on the altar, and you shall cause their fat to become smoke, a gift for a scent of pleasing to Yahweh. 18 And their flesh shall be for you; like the breast of the raised offering and like the right thigh, it shall be for you. 19 All the contributions of the holy things that the sons of Israel raise to Yahweh I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you for a statute of eternity. It is a covenant of salt of eternity to the face of Yahweh, for you and for your seed with you.”

20 And Yahweh said to Aaron, “In their land you shall not inherit, and a portion shall not be for you in their midst. I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel. 21 And to the sons of Levi, behold, I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in exchange for their service which they are serving, the service of the tent of meeting. 22 And the sons of Israel shall not again come near to the tent of meeting to lift up sin, to die. 23 And the Levite, he shall serve the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It is a statute of eternity for your generations, and in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall not inherit an inheritance. 24 For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they raise to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them that in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall not inherit an inheritance.”

25 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 26 “And to the Levites you shall speak, and you shall say to them, ‘When you take from with the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given to you from with them for your inheritance, then you shall raise from it a contribution of Yahweh, a tithe from the tithe. 27 And your contribution shall be reckoned to you as the grain from the threshing floor and as the fullness from the winepress. 28 Thus you shall raise, you also, the contribution of Yahweh from all your tithes which you take from with the sons of Israel, and you shall give from it the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest. 29 From all your gifts you shall raise every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, its holy thing from it.’ 30 And you shall say to them, ‘When you lift up its fat from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites like produce of a threshing floor and like produce of a winepress. 31 And you shall eat it in every place, you and your house, for it is a wage for you in exchange for your service in the tent of meeting. 32 And you shall not lift up sin upon it when you raise its fat from it. And the holy things of the sons of Israel you shall not profane, and you shall not die.’ ”
