CLV(i)
9 This shall become yours from the holy of holies, reserved from the fire of all their approach present, all their approach present and all their sin offering and all their guilt offering which they are restoring to Me; it will be a holy of holies for you and for your sons.
10 As a holy of holies shall you eat it; every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy for you.
11 This also is yours as a heave offering share of their gifts:all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. To you I give them and to your sons and to your daughters with you as an eonian statute. Everyone who is clean in your household may eat of it.
12 All the best of the clarified oil and all the best of the grape juice and the grain; their firstfruit which they shall give to Yahweh, to you I give them.
13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land which they shall bring to Yahweh shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your household may eat it.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.
15 Every male opening up the womb of all flesh which they may bring near to Yahweh of human and of beast shall be yours. Only you shall ransom, yea ransom the firstborn of humans, and the firstborn of an unclean beast shall you ransom.
16 As for his ransom, from a month old up shall you take ransom by your appraisal with five silver shekels by the shekel of the holy place. It is twenty gerahs.
17 Only the firstborn of kine or the firstborn of sheep or the firstborn of goats you shall not ransom. They are holy. Their blood you shall sprinkle against the altar, and their fat you shall cause to fume as a fire offering for a fragrant odor to Yahweh.
18 Yet their flesh shall be yours, like the chest of the wave offering, and like the right leg shall it be yours.
19 All the heave offering shares of the holy gifts which the sons of Israel shall raise up to Yahweh I give to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you as an eonian statute. An eonian covenant of salt shall it be before Yahweh, for you and for your seed with you.
20 Yahweh said to Aaron:In their land you shall not have an allotment, nor shall a portion be yours in their midst. I am your portion and your allotment in the midst of the sons of Israel.
21 As for the sons of Levi, behold, I give all the tithe in Israel as an allotment in exchange for their service in which they are serving, the service of the tent of appointment.
22 The sons of Israel shall not come near again to the tent of appointment to bear sin so as to die.
23 He, the Levite, will serve in the service of the tent of appointment, and they shall bear any depravity of theirs. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations so that in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall not be allotted an allotment,
24 for it is the tithe of the sons of Israel which they shall raise up as a heave offering to Yahweh which I give to the Levites as an allotment. Therefore I say concerning them:No allotment in the midst of the sons of Israel shall they be allotted.
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying.
26 As for the Levites, you shall speak and say to them:When you take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I give to you from them as your allotment, then you will raise up from it as a heave offering to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe.
27 Your heave offering will be reckoned to you like the grain from the threshing site and like the fullness from the wine vat.
28 So shall you also raise up the heave offering of Yahweh from all your tithes which you take from the sons of Israel; and from it you will offer the heave offering of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
29 From all your gifts you shall raise up the whole heave offering of Yahweh of all its best, its hallowed part, from it.
30 And you will say to them:When you raise up its best from it, then it will be reckoned to the Levites like the yield of the threshing site and like the yield of the wine vat.
31 And you may eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is your hire, in exchange for your service in the tent of appointment.
32 You shall not bear sin on account of it when you have raised up its best from it; thus you do not violate the holy things of the sons of Israel, nor shall you die.
