Numbers 18:21-28

Numbers 18:21-28

[21] And, behold, I have given  the children  of Levi  all the tenth  in Israel  for an inheritance,  for  their service  which they serve,  even the service  of the tabernacle  of the congregation.  [22] Neither must the children  of Israel  henceforth  come nigh  the tabernacle  of the congregation,  lest they bear  sin,  and die.  [23] But the Levites  shall do  the service  of the tabernacle  of the congregation,  and they shall bear  their iniquity:  it shall be a statute  for ever  throughout your generations,  that among  the children  of Israel  they have  no inheritance.  [24] But the tithes  of the children  of Israel,  which they offer  as an heave offering  unto the LORD,  I have given  to the Levites  to inherit:  therefore I have said  unto them, Among  the children  of Israel  they shall have  no inheritance.  [25] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [26] Thus speak  unto the Levites,  and say  unto them, When ye take  of the children  of Israel  the tithes  which I have given  you from them for your inheritance,  then ye shall offer  up an heave offering  of it for the LORD,  even a tenth  [27] And this your heave offering  shall be reckoned  unto you, as though it were the corn  of the threshingfloor,  and as the fulness  of the winepress.  [28] Thus ye also shall offer  an 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  to Aaron  the priest.
