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.’”

New International Version
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(A) as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord’s offering.(B) 27 Your offering will be reckoned(C) to you as grain from the threshing floor(D) or juice from the winepress.(E) 28 In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes(F) 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.(G) 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.(H) 32 By presenting the best part(I) of it you will not be guilty in this matter;(J) then you will not defile the holy offerings(K) of the Israelites, and you will not die.’”
