And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Aaron,H175 You and your sonsH1121 and your father'sH1 houseH1004 with you shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sanctuary:H4720 and you and your sonsH1121 with you shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of your priesthood.H3550
2
And your brothersH251 alsoH1571 of the tribeH4294 of Levi,H3878 the tribeH7626 of your father,H1 bringH7126 you with you, that they may be joinedH3867 to you, and ministerH8334 to you: but you and your sonsH1121 with you shall minister beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of witness.H5715
3
And they shall keepH8104 your charge,H4931 and the chargeH4931 of allH3605 the tabernacle:H168 onlyH389 they shall not comeH7126 nearH7126 the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 and the altar,H4196 that neitherH3808 H1571 they, nor you also,H1571 die.H4191
4
And they shall be joinedH3867 to you, and keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation,H4150 for allH3605 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacle:H168 and a strangerH376 H2114 shall not comeH7126 nearH7126 to you.
5
And you shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the sanctuary,H6944 and the chargeH4931 of the altar:H4196 that there be noH3808 wrathH7110 any moreH5750 on the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
6
And I, behold,H2009 I have takenH3947 your brothersH251 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 to you they are givenH5414 as a giftH4979 for the LORD,H3068 to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation.H4150
7
Therefore you and your sonsH1121 with you shall keepH8104 your priest'sH3550 office for everythingH3605 H1697 of the altar,H4196 and withinH1004 the veil;H6532 and you shall serve:H5647 I have givenH5414 your priest'sH3550 office to you as a serviceH5656 of gift:H4979 and the strangerH376 H2114 that comesH7131 nearH7126 shall be put to death.H4191
8
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Aaron,H175 Behold,H2009 I also have givenH5414 you the chargeH4931 of my heaveH8641 offeringsH8641 of allH3605 the hallowedH6944 things of the childrenH1121 of Israel;H3478 to you have I givenH5414 them by reason of the anointing,H4888 and to your sons,H1121 by an ordinanceH2706 for ever.H5769
9
ThisH2088 shall be your of the mostH6944 holyH6944 things, reserved from the fire:H784 everyH3605 oblationH7133 of theirs, everyH3605 meat offeringH4503 of theirs, and everyH3605 sinH2403 offering of theirs, and everyH3605 trespassH817 offering of theirs whichH834 they shall renderH7725 to me, shall be mostH6944 holyH6944 for you and for your sons.H1121
10
In the mostH6944 holyH6944 place shall you eatH398 it; everyH3605 maleH2145 shall eatH398 it: it shall be holyH6944 to you.
11
And thisH2088 is yours; the heaveH8641 offeringH8641 of their gift,H4976 with allH3605 the waveH8573 offerings of the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 I have givenH5414 them to you, and to your sonsH1121 and to your daughtersH1323 with you, by a statuteH2706 for ever:H5769 everyH3605 one that is cleanH2889 in your houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
12
AllH3605 the bestH2459 of the oil,H8081 and allH3605 the bestH2459 of the wine,H8492 and of the wheat,H1715 the first fruitsH7225 of them whichH834 they shall offerH5414 to the LORD,H3068 them have I givenH5414 you.
13
And whateverH3605 H834 is firstH1061 ripeH1061 in the land,H776 whichH834 they shall bringH935 to the LORD,H3068 shall be yours; everyH3605 one that is cleanH2889 in your houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
14
Every thingH3605 devotedH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be yours.
15
EveryH3605 thing that opensH6363 the matrixH7358 in allH3605 flesh,H1320 whichH834 they bringH7126 to the LORD,H3068 whether it be of menH120 orH176 beasts,H929 shall be yours: neverthelessH389 the firstbornH1060 of manH120 shall you surely redeem,H6299 and the firstlingH1060 of uncleanH2931 beastsH929 shall you redeem.H6299
16
And those that are to be redeemedH6299 from a monthH2320 oldH1121 shall you redeem,H6299 according to your estimation,H6187 for the moneyH3701 of fiveH2568 shekels,H8255 after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuary,H6944 whichH1958 is twentyH6242 gerahs.H1626
17
But the firstlingH1060 of a cow,H7794 or the firstlingH1060 of a sheep,H3775 orH176 the firstlingH1060 of a goat,H5795 you shall not redeem;H6299 they are holy:H6944 you shall sprinkleH2236 their bloodH1818 on the altar,H4196 and shall burnH6999 their fatH2459 for an offering made by fire, for a sweetH5207 smellH7381 to the LORD.H3068
18
And the fleshH1320 of them shall be yours, as the waveH8573 breastH2373 and as the rightH3225 shoulderH7785 are yours.
19
AllH3605 the heaveH8641 offeringsH8641 of the holyH6944 things, whichH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 offerH7311 to the LORD,H3068 have I givenH5414 you, and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 with you, by a statuteH2706 for ever:H5769 it is a covenantH1285 of saltH4417 for everH5769 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to you and to your seedH2233 with you.
20
And the LORDH3068 spokeH559 to Aaron,H175 You shall have noH3808 inheritanceH5157 in their land,H776 neitherH3808 shall you haveH1961 any partH2506 amongH8432 them: I am your partH2506 and your inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
21
And, behold,H2009 I have givenH5414 the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 allH3605 the tenthH4643 in IsraelH3478 for an inheritance,H5159 for their serviceH5656 whichH834 they serve,H5647 even the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation.H4150
22
NeitherH3808 must the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from now onH5750 comeH7126 nearH7126 the tabernacleH168 of the congregation,H4150 lest they bearH5375 sin,H2399 and die.H4191
23
But the LevitesH3881 shall doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation,H4150 and they shall bearH5375 their iniquity:H5771 it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generations,H1755 that amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 they have noH3808 inheritance.H5159
24
But the tithesH4643 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 whichH834 they offerH7311 as an heaveH8641 offeringH8641 to the LORD,H3068 I have givenH5414 to the LevitesH3881 to inherit:H5159 thereforeH5921 H3651 I have saidH559 to them, AmongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 they shall have noH3808 inheritance.H5159
25
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
26
Thus speakH1696 to the Levites,H3881 and sayH559 to them, WhenH3588 you takeH3947 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the tithesH4643 whichH834 I have givenH5414 you from them for your inheritance,H5159 then you shall offerH7311 up an heaveH8641 offeringH8641 of it for the LORD,H3068 even a tenthH4643 partH2506 of the tithe.H4643
27
And this your heaveH8641 offeringH8641 shall be reckonedH2803 to you, as though it were the cornH1715 of the threshing floor,H1637 and as the fullnessH4395 of the wine press.H3342
28
ThusH3651 you alsoH1571 shall offerH7311 an heaveH8641 offeringH8641 to the LORDH3068 of allH3605 your tithes,H4643 whichH834 you receiveH3947 of the childrenH1121 of Israel;H3478 and you shall giveH5414 thereof the LORD'sH3068 heaveH8641 offeringH8641 to AaronH175 the priest.H3548
29
Out of allH3605 your giftsH4979 you shall offerH7311 everyH3605 heaveH8641 offeringH8641 of the LORD,H3068 of allH3605 the bestH2459 thereof, evenH853 the hallowedH4720 part thereof out of it.
30
Therefore you shall sayH559 to them, When you have heavedH7311 the bestH2459 thereof from it, then it shall be countedH2803 to the LevitesH3881 as the increaseH8393 of the threshing floor,H1637 and as the increaseH8393 of the wine press.H3342
31
And you shall eatH398 it in everyH3605 place,H4725 you and your households:H1004 for it is your rewardH7939 for your serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregation.H4150
32
And you shall bearH5375 noH3808 sinH2399 by reasonH5921 of it, when you have heavedH7311 from it the bestH2459 of it: neitherH3808 shall you polluteH2490 the holyH6944 things of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 lestH3808 you die.H4191
