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 theirs every meat 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 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
