Numbers 18:25-32
1599 Geneva Bible
25 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Speak also unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye shall take of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you of them for your inheritance, then shall ye take an heave offering of that same for the Lord, even the tenth part of the tithe.
27 And your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as the [a]corn of the barn, or as the abundance of the winepress.
28 So ye shall also offer an heave offering unto the Lord of all your tithes, which ye shall receive of the children of Israel, and ye shall give thereof the Lord’s heave offering to Aaron the Priest.
29 Ye shall offer of all your [b]gifts all the Lord’s heave offerings: of all the [c]fat of the same shall ye offer the holy things thereof.
30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have offered the fat thereof, then it shall be counted unto the Levites, as the increase of the corn floor, or as the increase of the winepress.
31 And ye shall eat it in all [d]places, ye, and your households: for it is your wages for your service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
32 And ye shall [e]bear no sin by the reason of it, when ye have offered the fat of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy [f]things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
