20 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: qI am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. 21 And, behold, rI have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even sthe service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22 tNeither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, ulest they bear sin, †and die. 23 But the Levites wshall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and xthey 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 ythey offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, zAmong 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 aa tenth part of the tithe. 27 bAnd 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, cthen 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 dyour reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 32 And ye shall ebear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye fpollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
