Numbers 18:25-32

Lexham English Bible

²⁵ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁶ “You will speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you receive the tithe from the Israelites^[a] that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present^[b] a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tithe from a tithe. ²⁷ Your contribution will be credited to you like the grain from the threshing floor and like the produce from the press. ²⁸ So you will present^[c] your own contribution to Yahweh from all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites;^[d] from it you will give the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest. ²⁹ From all your gifts you will present^[e] every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, the part that is sacred.’ ³⁰ You will say to them, ‘When you are presenting^[f] its fat, the rest will be credited to the Levites like a yield of the threshing floor and like a yield from the press. ³¹ You may eat it anywhere, you and your household, because it is a wage in return for your service in the tent of assembly. ³² You will not bear any sin because you have presented^[g] its fat; you will not defile the holy objects of the Israelites,^[h] or you will die.’”
