Numbers 18:27-29
New English Translation
27 And your raised offering will be credited[a] to you as though it were grain from the threshing floor or as new wine[b] from the winepress. 28 Thus you are to offer up a raised offering to the Lord of all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites; and you must give the Lord’s raised offering from it to Aaron the priest. 29 From all your gifts you must offer up every raised offering due[c] the Lord, from all the best of it, and the holiest part of it.’[d]
