¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane My holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to Me: I am the Lord. ³ Say to them, Every man throughout your generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from Me: I am the Lord your God. ⁴ And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him, ⁵ or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or who shall touch a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness; ⁶ whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water, ⁷ and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread. ⁸ He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I am the Lord. ⁹ And they shall keep My ordinances, that they do not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they shall profane them: I am the Lord God that sanctifies them. ¹⁰ And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things. ¹¹ But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread. ¹² And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary. ¹³ And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father's house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father's bread, but no stranger shall eat of it. ¹⁴ And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest. ¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord. ¹⁶ So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

⁸ And the Lord said to Aaron, Behold, I have given you the charge of the firstfruits of all things consecrated to Me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to you as an honor, and to your sons after you for a perpetual ordinance.

³ And this is the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and you shall give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the stomach;

²⁹ You shall not keep back the firstfruits of your threshing floor and press. The firstborn of your sons you shall give unto Me.

¹⁹ You shall bring the first offerings of the firstfruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young lamb in its mother's milk.

²⁶ The firstfruits of your land shall you put into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

¹⁴ And if you would offer a sacrifice of firstfruits to the Lord, it shall be new grains ground and roasted for the Lord; so shall you bring the sacrifice of the firstfruits.

¹⁷ You shall bring loaves from your dwelling places, as a heave offering, two loaves: they shall be of two tenth portions of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven of the firstfruits to the Lord.

²⁰ And the priest shall place them with the loaves of the firstfruits an offering before the Lord with the two lambs, they shall be holy to the Lord they shall belong to the priest that brings them.

¹⁹ then it shall come to pass, when you shall eat of the bread of the land, you shall separate a heave offering, a special offering to the Lord, the firstfruits of your dough. ²⁰ You shall offer your bread as a heave offering: as a heave offering from the threshing floor, so shall you separate it, ²¹ even the firstfruits of your dough, and you shall give the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.

⁴ and the firstfruits of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil; and you shall give to him the firstfruits of the fleeces of your sheep:

² that you shall take of the first of the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there.

³⁵ and to bring the firstfruits of our land, and the firstfruits of the fruit of every tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord; ³⁶ the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, for the priests that minister in the house of our God. ³⁷ And the firstfruits of our grain, and the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house of God; and a tithe of our land to the Levites; for the Levites themselves shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.

² The one basket was full of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was full of very bad figs, which could not be eaten, for they were so bad.

¹⁰ I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig tree. They went in to Baal Peor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.

¹ Alas for me! For I have become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as one gathering grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!

²⁸ And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.

²⁹ And these shall eat the meat offerings, and the sin offerings, and the trespass offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.

² Sanctify to Me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast: it is Mine.

¹² that you shall set apart every offspring opening the womb, the males to the Lord, everyone that opens the womb out of the herds or among your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord. ¹³ Every offspring opening the womb of the donkey you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it. Every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

²⁰ And the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a sheep, and if you will not redeem it you shall pay a price: every firstborn of your sons shall you redeem. You shall not appear before Me empty-handed.

²⁶ And every firstborn which shall be produced among your cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's. ²⁷ But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.

¹³ For every firstborn is Mine; in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be Mine: I am the Lord.

⁴⁶ And for the ransoms of the two hundred and seventy-three which exceed the Levites in number of the firstborn of the sons of Israel,

¹³ And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a shekel which is according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half-shekel shall be the offering to the Lord.

² Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord, ³ the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be — his valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the standard of the sanctuary. ⁴ And the valuation of a female shall be thirty shekels. ⁵ And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty shekels, and of a female ten shekels. ⁶ And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five shekels, and of a female, three shekels of silver. ⁷ And if from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen shekels of silver, and if a female, ten shekels.

²⁵ And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

⁴⁷ you shall even take five shekels a head; you shall take them according to the holy shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

¹² And the weights shall be twenty gerahs, your pound shall be five shekels, fifteen shekels and fifty shekels.

¹⁶ And you shall kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round about.

² And he shall lay his hands on the head of the gift, and shall slay it before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood on the altar of burnt offerings round about. ³ And they shall bring of the peace-offering a burned sacrifice to the Lord, the fat covering the belly, and all the fat on the belly. ⁴ And the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them; he shall take away that which is on the thighs, and the fatty lobe above the liver together with the kidneys. ⁵ And the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer them on the altar on the burnt offering, on the wood which is on the fire upon the altar: it is a burnt offering, an aroma of sweet savor to the Lord.

¹⁹ Every firstborn that shall be born among your cows and your sheep, you shall sanctify the males to the Lord your God; you shall not work with your firstborn calf, and you shall not shear the firstborn of your sheep. ²⁰ You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your house. ²¹ And if there be in it a blemish, if it is lame or blind, (an evil blemish) you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. ²² You shall eat it in your cities; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner, as the doe or the deer.

²⁶ And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is Aaron's, and you shall separate it as a separate offering before the Lord, and it shall be to you for a portion.

¹³ And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours you shall offer salt to the Lord your God.

¹¹ And this shall be to you of the firstfruits of their gifts, of all the wave offerings of the children of Israel; to you have I given them and to your sons and your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance; every clean person in your house shall eat them.

²⁹ And you shall give them to Eleazar the priest as the firstfruits of the Lord.

⁴¹ And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;

⁵ Is it not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel forever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?

⁴ And they told the people who dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house of the Lord.

²³ And the Levite himself shall perform the service of the tabernacle of witness; and they shall bear their iniquities, it is a perpetual statute throughout their generations; and in the midst of the children of Israel they shall not receive an inheritance. ²⁴ Because I have given as a distinct portion to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel, whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

⁶² And there were according to their numbering, twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because they have no inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁹ Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brothers; the Lord Himself is their inheritance, as He said to them.

¹² And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

²⁷ and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.

²⁹ And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities, and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.

¹ The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; the burnt offerings of the Lord are their inheritance, they shall eat them. ² And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord Himself is his portion, as He said to him.

¹⁴ Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, He is their inheritance, as the Lord said to them; and this is the division which Moses made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho.

³³ (TEXT OMITTED)

³ But to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

⁷ For the sons of Levi have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is his portion; and Gad, and Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.

⁵ The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: You are He that restores my inheritance to me.

²⁶ My heart and my flesh have failed; but God is the strength of my heart, and God is my portion forever.

⁵ I cried unto You, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

²⁴ The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for Him.

²⁸ And it shall be to them for an inheritance. I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them among the children of Israel; for I am their possession.

²¹ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all things are yours. ²³ And you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them.

²⁰ and blessed be the Most High God, who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him a tithe of all.

³⁰ Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord. ³¹ And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his. ³² And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord. ³³ You shall not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if you should at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.

⁷ and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. ⁸ And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle.

⁶ And I have taken your brothers the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, a present given to the Lord, to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness.

²⁴ Because I have given as a distinct portion to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel, whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. ²⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁶ You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.

¹⁷ You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all your vows, as many as you have vowed, and your thank offerings, and the firstfruits of your hands. ¹⁸ But before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for Himself; you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatsoever you shall lay your hand. ¹⁹ Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite all the time that you live upon the earth.

²² You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field, year by year. ²³ And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your grain and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God at all times. ²⁴ And if the journey is too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place is far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you; ²⁵ then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose. ²⁶ And you shall give the money for whatsoever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or you shall lay it out on strong drink, or on whatsoever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house, ²⁷ and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you. ²⁸ After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities. ²⁹ And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities, and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.

⁵ And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly their firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and every fruit of the field. And the children of Israel and Judah brought tithes of everything abundantly. ⁶ And those who dwelt in the cities of Judah themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps.

¹² and they brought there the firstfruits and the tithes faithfully. And Cononiah the Levite was superintendent over them, and Shimei his brother was next.

²⁹ were urgent with their brothers, and bound them under a curse, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses, the servant of God; to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord, and His judgments, and His ordinances.

³⁷ And the firstfruits of our grain, and the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house of God; and a tithe of our land to the Levites; for the Levites themselves shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.

⁴⁴ And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the firstfruits, and the tithes, and for the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, to furnish portions for the priests and Levites; for there was joy in Judah over the priests and over the Levites that waited.

¹² And all Judah brought a tithe of the wheat and the wine and the oil into the treasuries,

¹³ Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar have a share in the altar? ¹⁴ Thus also the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel.

⁶ Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

⁵ And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

²⁰ Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

⁵¹ And in removing the tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and in pitching the tabernacle they shall set it up: and let the stranger that advances to touch it die. ⁵² And the children of Israel shall encamp, every man in his own order, and every man according to his company, with their army.

⁷ and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, You and your sons and your father's house shall bear the sins of the holy things, and you and your sons shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

²⁶ You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.

⁸ Will a man insult God? For you insult Me. But you say, How have we insulted You? In that the tithes and firstfruits are with you still. ⁹ And you do surely look off from Me, and you insult Me. ¹⁰ The year is completed, and you have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, says the Lord Almighty, see if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out My blessing upon you, until you are satisfied.

²¹ And behold, I have given to the sons of Levi every tithe in Israel for an inheritance for their services, the work in which they perform in the tabernacle of witness.

³⁸ And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites in the tithe of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up their tithe to the house of our God, into the treasuries of the house of God.

¹⁹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ This is the gift of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord in the day in which you shall anoint him; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sacrifice continually, the half of it in the morning, and the half of it in the evening. ²¹ It shall be made with oil in a frying pan; he shall offer it kneaded and in rolls, an offering of fragments, an offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord. ²² The anointed priest who is in his place, one of his sons, shall offer it: it is a perpetual statute, it shall all be consumed. ²³ And every sacrifice of a priest shall be thoroughly burned, and shall not be eaten.

²⁰ You shall offer your bread as a heave offering: as a heave offering from the threshing floor, so shall you separate it,

³⁰ And you shall say to them, When you shall offer the firstfruits from it, then shall it be reckoned to the Levites as produce from the threshing floor, and as produce from the winepress.

¹⁴ You shall give him provision for the way from your flock, and from your grain, and from your wine; as the Lord your God has blessed you, so you shall give to him.

²⁷ And he said to her, Unless the Lord help you, how shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?

¹ Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as other nations. For you have gone a-whoring from your God; you have loved gifts upon every threshing floor. ² The threshing floor and winepress knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the Most High God.

²⁰ where the Forerunner has entered in behalf of us, even Jesus, having become a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ And Israel their father said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of balm and honey, frankincense and myrrh, pistachio nuts and walnuts.

²⁷ And your heave offerings shall be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor, and an offering from the winepress. ²⁸ So shall you also separate them from all the offerings of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatsoever you shall receive from the children of Israel; and you shall give to them of the Lord's offering, to Aaron the priest.

⁵ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.

⁹ Honor the Lord with your just labors, and give Him the firstfruits of your righteousness, ¹⁰ that your storehouses may be completely filled with grain, and that your presses may burst forth with wine.

⁸ For if you bring a blind victim for sacrifices, is it not evil? And if you bring the lame or the sick, is it not evil? Offer it now to your ruler, and see if he will receive you, if he will accept your person, says the Lord Almighty.

³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. ³⁸ And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. ³⁹ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

⁸ More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

²² You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field, year by year. ²³ And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have His name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your grain and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.

¹⁰ not a knapsack for the road, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

⁷ And remain in that very house, eating and drinking what they have, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move from house to house.

¹⁰ Or does He say this altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, for it is written, that he that plows should plow in hope, and he that threshes, in hope should partake of his hope. ¹¹ If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? ¹² If others partake of this right over you, do not we even more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but bear all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

¹³ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

¹⁷ Let the elders having ruled well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain," and, "The worker is worthy of his wages."

⁸ And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.

² Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane My holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to Me: I am the Lord.

²² And the children of Israel shall no more draw near to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.

⁷ In that you bring to My altar polluted bread; and you said, In what way have we polluted it? In that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and that which was set on it you have despised.

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord irreverently will be guilty of the body of the Lord and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁹ For he that eats and drinks irreverently eats and drinks judgment to himself, not judging correctly the body of the Lord.
