Numbers 18:1
|
|
And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons
and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and
thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:2 |
|
And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the
tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee,
and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent
of the testimony. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:3 |
|
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge
of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary
and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:4 |
|
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep
the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger
shall not come nigh unto you. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:5 |
|
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary,
and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more upon the children of
Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:6 |
|
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the
Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto
Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:7 |
|
And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your
priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall
serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:8 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold,
I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things
of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing,
and to thy sons, as a portion for ever. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:9 |
|
This shall be thine of the most holy things,
reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of
theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs,
which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:10 |
|
As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof;
every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:11 |
|
And this is thine: the heave-offering of their
gift, even 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, as a portion for ever;
every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:12 |
|
All the best of the oil, and all the best of
the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah,
to thee have I given them. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:13 |
|
The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their
land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in
thy house shall eat thereof. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:14 |
|
Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:15 |
|
Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh
which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless
the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts
shalt thou redeem. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:16 |
|
And those that are to be redeemed of them from
a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of
five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:17 |
|
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 savor unto Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:18 |
|
And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the
wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:19 |
|
All the heave-offerings of the holy things,
which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons
and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for
ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:20 |
|
And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have
no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them:
I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 18:21 |
|
And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have
given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service
which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:22 |
|
And henceforth the children of Israel shall
not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:23 |
|
But the Levites shall do the service of the
tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for
ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall
have no inheritance. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:24 |
|
For the tithe of the children of Israel, which
they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an
inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they
shall have no inheritance. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:25 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:26 |
|
Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites,
and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have
given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering
of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:27 |
|
And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto
you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of
the winepress. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:28 |
|
Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto
Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof
ye shall give Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the priest. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:29 |
|
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering
of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
|
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:30 |
|
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye
heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as
the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:31 |
|
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your
households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
|
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 18:32 |
|
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when
ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things
of the children of Israel, that ye die not. |
