Numbers 18:21-31

²¹Soothly, I gave to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel into possession, for the service by which they serve me in the tabernacle of the bond of peace;

²²that the sons of Israel nigh no more to the tabernacle of the bond of peace, neither do deadly sin.

²³To the sons alone of Levi, serving me in the tabernacle, and bearing the people’s sins, it shall be a lawful thing everlasting in your generations.

²⁴They shall wield none other thing, and they shall be satisfied with the offering of tithes, which I separated into the uses and necessaries of them.

²⁵And the Lord spake to Moses and said,

²⁶Command thou, and announce to the deacons or Levites, When ye have taken tithes of the sons of Israel, which I gave to you, offer ye the first fruits of those or them to the Lord, that is, the tenth part of the tenth,

²⁷that it be areckoned to you into the offering of the first fruits, as well of the cornfloors, as of the presses;

²⁸and of all things of which ye take tithes, offer ye the first fruits to the Lord, and give ye those to Aaron, the priest.

²⁹All things which ye shall offer of tithes, and shall separate into the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best, and all the choice things.

³⁰And thou shalt say to them, If ye offer to the Lord all the more clean and better things of tithes, it shall be areckoned to you, as if ye gave the first fruits of the cornfloor, and of the press.

³¹And ye shall eat those tithes in all your places, as well ye as your meines, for it is the price for the service, for which ye serve in the tabernacle of witnessing.
