Numbers 18
New International Version
Duties of Priests and Levites
18 The Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons and your family are to bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the sanctuary,(A) and you and your sons alone are to bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the priesthood. 2 Bring your fellow Levites from your ancestral tribe to join you and assist you when you and your sons minister(B) before the tent of the covenant law. 3 They are to be responsible to you(C) and are to perform all the duties of the tent,(D) but they must not go near the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar. Otherwise both they and you will die.(E) 4 They are to join you and be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting—all the work at the tent—and no one else may come near where you are.(F)
5 “You are to be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the altar,(G) so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelites again. 6 I myself have selected your fellow Levites from among the Israelites as a gift to you,(H) dedicated to the Lord to do the work at the tent of meeting.(I) 7 But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain.(J) I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift.(K) Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.(L)”
Offerings for Priests and Levites
8 Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself have put you in charge of the offerings presented to me; all the holy offerings the Israelites give me I give to you and your sons as your portion,(M) your perpetual share.(N) 9 You are to have the part of the most holy offerings(O) that is kept from the fire. From all the gifts they bring me as most holy offerings, whether grain(P) or sin[a](Q) or guilt offerings,(R) that part belongs to you and your sons. 10 Eat it as something most holy; every male shall eat it.(S) You must regard it as holy.(T)
11 “This also is yours: whatever is set aside from the gifts of all the wave offerings(U) of the Israelites. I give this to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share.(V) Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean(W) may eat it.
12 “I give you all the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain(X) they give the Lord(Y) as the firstfruits of their harvest.(Z) 13 All the land’s firstfruits that they bring to the Lord will be yours.(AA) Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean may eat it.(AB)
14 “Everything in Israel that is devoted[b] to the Lord(AC) is yours. 15 The first offspring of every womb, both human and animal, that is offered to the Lord is yours.(AD) But you must redeem(AE) every firstborn(AF) son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.(AG) 16 When they are a month old,(AH) you must redeem them at the redemption price set at five shekels[c](AI) of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel,(AJ) which weighs twenty gerahs.(AK)
17 “But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow, a sheep or a goat; they are holy.(AL) Splash their blood(AM) against the altar and burn their fat(AN) as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AO) 18 Their meat is to be yours, just as the breast of the wave offering(AP) and the right thigh are yours.(AQ) 19 Whatever is set aside from the holy(AR) offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt(AS) before the Lord for both you and your offspring.”
20 The Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them;(AT) I am your share and your inheritance(AU) among the Israelites.
21 “I give to the Levites all the tithes(AV) in Israel as their inheritance(AW) in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting.(AX) 22 From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die.(AY) 23 It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance(AZ) for the generations to come.(BA) They will receive no inheritance(BB) among the Israelites.(BC) 24 Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.(BD) That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’”
25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 “Speak to the Levites and say to them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you(BE) as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord’s offering.(BF) 27 Your offering will be reckoned(BG) to you as grain from the threshing floor(BH) or juice from the winepress.(BI) 28 In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes(BJ) you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the Lord’s portion to Aaron the priest. 29 You must present as the Lord’s portion the best and holiest part of everything given to you.’
30 “Say to the Levites: ‘When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress.(BK) 31 You and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere, for it is your wages for your work at the tent of meeting.(BL) 32 By presenting the best part(BM) of it you will not be guilty in this matter;(BN) then you will not defile the holy offerings(BO) of the Israelites, and you will not die.’”

제사장들과 레위인들의 임무
18 여호와께서 아론에게 말씀하셨다. “성소와 관련된 죄에 대해서는 너와 네 아들들과 네 집안 사람들이 다 같이 책임을 지고 제사장 직분에 관련된 죄에 대해서는 너와 네 아들들만이 책임을 져야 한다.
2 너는 네 친척인 레위 지파 사람들을 데려다가 너와 함께 일하게 하고 너와 네 아들들이 성막에서 일할 때에 너를 돕게 하여라.
3 그들은 너에 대한 책임을 다하고 성막의 모든 업무를 수행해야 하지만 성소의 기구나 단에 접근해서는 안 된다. 그렇지 않으면 그들과 너희가 모두 죽게 될 것이다.
4 그들은 너희를 도와 성막의 모든 일을 할 수 있으나 그 밖의 사람은 너희에게 접근하지 못하게 하라.
5 성소와 제단에 관한 일은 너와 네 아들들만 해야 한다. 그러면 내가 이스라엘 백성에게 다시는 분노를 터뜨리지 않을 것이다.
6 나는 이스라엘 백성 가운데서 너희 친척인 레위 사람들을 택하여 너희에게 선물로 주어 나에게 헌신하게 하고 성막 일을 하게 하였다.
7 그러나 제단과 성소 안의 모든 일에 대한 제사장 직분은 너와 네 아들들만이 수행해야 한다. 이 직분은 내가 너희에게 선물로 준 것이다. 그러므로 다른 사람이 성소에 접근하면 반드시 죽여라.”
제사장들에게 돌아갈 예물
8 여호와께서 아론에게 다시 말씀하셨다. “나에게 가져오는 모든 예물을 너에게 맡긴다. 이스라엘 백성이 나에게 바치는 거룩한 예물을 너와 네 자손에게 영구히 주겠다.
9 가장 거룩한 예물 중에서 불로 태우지 않은 것은 네 것이다. 그들이 나에게 바치는 예물 가운데 소제물과 속죄제물과 속건제물은 가장 거룩하므로 너와 네 아들들의 몫이다.
10 너는 이것들을 거룩한 곳에서 먹어라. 이 제물들은 거룩하므로 남자들만 먹어야 한다.
11 “이 밖에 이스라엘 백성이 들어올려 바친 거제물과 흔들어 바친 요제물도 너의 것이다. 내가 이것들을 네 가족의 양식으로 영구히 주겠다. 그러므로 네 가족 중에 의식상 깨끗한 자는 이 제물을 먹을 수 있다.
12 “이스라엘 백성이 첫열매로 나에게 바치는 제일 좋은 감람기름과 포도주와 곡식도 내가 너에게 주겠다.
13 그들이 나에게 바치는 그 땅의 처음 익은 모든 열매가 다 네 것이므로 네 가족 중에 의식상 깨끗한 자는 다 이것들을 먹을 수 있다.
14 “나 여호와에게 무조건 바치도록 되어 있는 것은 다 네 것이다.
15 나에게 바치는 모든 생물의 처음 난 것은 사람이나 짐승이나 모두 네 것이다. 그러나 너는 처음 출생한 사람과 처음 난 부정한 짐승에 대해서는 대신 돈으로 받아라.
16 사람이 태어난 지 개월이 되면 몸값으로 [a]은 57그램을 받아라.
17 그러나 소나 양이나 염소의 첫새끼에 대해서는 돈으로 대신 받아서는 안 된다. 그것들은 나 여호와에게 완전히 바쳐진 것들이다. 너는 그 피를 단에 뿌리고 그 기름은 불살라 나 여호와를 기쁘게 하는 향기로운 제물이 되게 하라.
18 흔들어 바친 가슴과 오른쪽 넓적다리와 마찬가지로 그 고기는 네 몫이다.
19 그리고 이스라엘 백성이 나에게 거룩한 예물로 바치는 것은 내가 영구히 너와 네 자손의 양식으로 주겠다. 이것은 내가 너와 네 후손과 맺는 불변의 [b]계약이다.”
레위인들의 몫
20 여호와께서 또 아론에게 말씀하셨다. “이스라엘 땅에서 네가 물려받을 유산이나 재산은 아무것도 없다. 그것은 나 여호와가 너의 재산이며 유산이기 때문이다.
21 “레위 자손이 성막에서 일하는 대가로 내가 이스라엘의 모든 십일조를 그들에게 주겠다.
22 이제부터 제사장과 레위인을 제외한 일반 사람은 성막에 가까이 가서는 안 된다. 그렇지 않으면 죽음을 당할 것이다.
23 오직 레위인들만 성막에서 일할 것이며 성막 일을 잘못했을 때는 그들이 책임을 져야 한다. 이것은 너희가 대대로 지켜야 할 규정이다. 레위인은 이스라엘 자손 중에서 물려받을 유산이 없다.
24 이스라엘 백성이 나에게 바치는 예물의 십일조를 내가 그들에게 유산으로 주었으므로 나는 그들에게 유산이 없을 것이라고 말하였다.”
레위인들의 십일조
25-26 여호와께서 모세를 통하여 레위인들 에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희는 내가 너희 유산으로 준 십일조를 이스라엘 백성에게서 받으면 그것의 십일조를 다시 나 여호와에게 예물로 바쳐라.
27 그러면 내가 그것을 땅에서 처음 거둔 곡식과 포도즙으로 드리는 예물처럼 여기겠다.
28 이와 같이 너희는 이스라엘 백성에게서 받은 십일조 가운데서 나에게 예물을 바치고 나에게 바친 이 예물을 제사장 아론에게 주어라.
29 너희는 이스라엘 백성에게서 받은 모든 예물 중에서 가장 좋은 것을 나에게 바쳐야 한다.
30 백성들이 추수하여 예물을 바치고 남은 것을 갖는 것처럼 너희 레위인들도 제일 좋은 것을 바치고 남은 것은 너희가 가져라.
31 이것은 너희가 성막에서 일한 대가로 받는 것이므로 너희와 너희 가족이 어디서든지 먹을 수 있다.
32 너희가 가장 좋은 것을 나에게 바친 후에는 그 나머지를 먹어도 죄가 되지 않지만 너희가 그것을 바치기 전에 이스라엘 백성이 드린 거룩한 예물을 먹어 더럽히면 죽음을 면치 못할 것이다.”

Numbers 18
King James Version
18 And the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the Lord, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of their's, every meat offering of their's, and every sin offering of their's, and every trespass offering of their's which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given thee.
13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.
14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
20 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
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 part of the tithe.
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.
29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the Lord, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
