And he who touches any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose semen has gone out of him; ⁵ or a man who touches any swarming thing which is unclean to him, or touches a man who is unclean to him, by any of his uncleanness, ⁶ the person who touches it shall even be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, but shall bathe his flesh with water. ⁷ And when the sun goes in, he shall be clean, and afterwards he shall eat of the holy things, for it is his food; ⁸ he shall not eat a dead body or torn thing, for it is unclean; I am Jehovah. ⁹ And they shall keep My charge, and shall bear no sin for it, that they may not die for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah, who is sanctifying them. ¹⁰ And no stranger shall eat of the holy things, a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant; these shall not eat of the holy thing. ¹¹ And if a priest buys a person, the purchase of his silver, he shall eat of it; also one born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. ¹² And a priest's daughter, when she belongs to an alien man, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. ¹³ But a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or put away, and has no seed, and has turned back 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 if a man shall eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he shall add the fifth part of it, and shall give it to the priest along with the holy thing. ¹⁵ And they shall not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel, that which they lift up to Jehovah; ¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity of the guilt offering in their eating their holy things. For I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

⁸ And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying, And I, behold, I have given to you the charge of My heave offerings, of all the dedicated things of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you for the anointing, and to your sons, by a never ending statute.

³ And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from those that offer a sacrifice, whether an ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach,

²⁹ You shall not delay giving your harvest and your vintage. You shall give to Me the first born of your sons.

¹⁹ The first, the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

²⁶ You shall bring the first of the firstfruits of your ground to the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in the milk of its mother.

¹⁴ And if you bring near a food offering of firstfruits to Jehovah, fresh ears roasted with fire, kernels from a garden, you shall bring near your firstfruits for a food offering.

¹⁷ you shall bring in bread out of your dwellings for a wave offering, two loaves; they shall be of two tenth ephah of flour; they shall be baked with leaven; firstfruits to Jehovah

²⁰ And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the firstfruits, a wave offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest.

¹⁹ then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall lift up a heave offering to Jehovah. ²⁰ You shall lift up a cake of the first of your dough as a heave offering; as the heave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up. ²¹ You shall give of the first of your dough to Jehovah, a heave offering for your generations.

⁴ the first of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your flock, you shall give to him.

² then you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you shall bring in from your land which Jehovah your God is giving to you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.

³⁵ also to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of Jehovah; ³⁶ also to bring the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the Law; and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God. ³⁷ And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all kinds of trees, of wine, and of oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; and they, the Levites, might have the tithes in all the cities we worked.

² One basket had very good figs, like first ripe figs. And the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten from their badness.

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruit in the fig tree at her first time. They came to Baal-peor and set themselves apart to a shameful thing. And they became hateful like that which they loved.

¹ Woe to me! For I am like the gatherings of summer fruit, like the gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; my soul desires the early fig.

²⁸ But any devoted thing which a man devotes to Jehovah from all which belongs to him, of man or of animal, or of the field of his possession, it shall not be sold nor redeemed. Every devoted thing to Jehovah is most holy.

²⁹ They shall eat the food offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering. And every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

² Set apart to Me every first-born, the one Opening the womb among the sons of Israel, among men and among livestock; they shall be Mine.

¹² you shall set apart to Jehovah every one opening the womb, and every firstling, the offspring of animals which are yours; the males are Jehovah's. ¹³ And every firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a flock animal. And if you do not redeem, you shall break its neck. And every first-born of men among your sons you shall redeem.

²⁰ and a firstling of an ass, you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you do not redeem, you shall break its neck. You shall redeem every first-born of your sons, and they shall not be seen before My face empty.

²⁶ However, no man shall dedicate a firstling, which is first-born to Jehovah among animals, whether ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's. ²⁷ And if among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it at your valuation, and he shall add its fifth to it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold at your evaluation.

¹³ For every first-born is Mine, from the day I struck every first-born in the land of Egypt, I have set apart to Myself every first-born in Israel, from men to animal. They are Mine. I am Jehovah.

⁴⁶ And from those redeemed of the two hundred and seventy three who are more than the Levites, of the first-born of the sons of Israel,

¹³ They shall give this, everyone passing over to those numbered: half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs being a shekel; half a shekel as an offering to Jehovah.

² Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When a man makes a difficult vow by your evaluation, the persons shall be Jehovah's. ³ And your evaluation shall be of the male from a son of twenty years even until a son of sixty years; then your evaluation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary. ⁴ And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty shekels. ⁵ And if from a son of five years to a son of twenty years, then your evaluation shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female. ⁶ And if a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your evaluation shall be five shekels of silver for the male and three shekels of silver for the female. ⁷ And if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.

²⁵ And all your valuation shall be by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

⁴⁷ you shall even take five shekels apiece, by the head; you shall take by the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs to the shekel.

¹² And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: Twenty shekels, twenty five shekels, fifteen shekels shall be a maneh to you.

¹⁶ And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and shall sprinkle it on the altar all around.

² And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the opening of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood on the altar all around. ³ And he shall bring near from the sacrifice of the peace offering a fire offering to Jehovah, the fat which covers the inward parts, and all the fat on the inward parts, ⁴ and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, on the loins, and the fatty fold by the liver beside the kidneys; he shall remove. ⁵ And the sons of Aaron shall burn it as incense on the altar, on the burnt offering on the wood on the fire, a fire offering of a soothing fragrance to Jehovah.

¹⁹ The firstling males that are born of your herd and of your flock, you shall sanctify to Jehovah your God. You shall do no work with the firstling of your ox, nor shear the firstling of your flock. ²⁰ You shall eat it before Jehovah your God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, you and your household. ²¹ And if there is any blemish in it, lameness, or blindness, or any evil blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God. ²² You shall eat it inside your gates; the unclean and the clean alike, as the gazelle and as the hart.

²⁶ And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is on Aaron. And you shall wave it a wave offering before the face of Jehovah; it shall be your portion.

¹³ And every offering of your food offering you shall season with salt, and you shall not let the salt of the covenant of your God be lacking from your food offering; you shall offer salt with all your offerings.

¹¹ And this is yours, the heave offering of their gift with all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a never ending statute; every clean one in your house shall eat it.

²⁹ you shall take from their half, and you shall give to Eleazar the priest as the heave offering of Jehovah.

⁴¹ And Moses gave the tribute, the heave offering of Jehovah, to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

⁵ Do you not know that Jehovah the God of Israel has given the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons, a covenant of salt?

⁴ And he commanded the people, those who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and of the Levites, in order that they might be made strong in the law of Jehovah.

²³ But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a never ending statute throughout your generations, that in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance; ²⁴ but the tithes of the sons of Israel which they shall lift up to Jehovah, a heave offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said to them, They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.

⁶² And those numbered of them, twenty three thousand; all males from a month old and upward. For they were not counted among the sons of Israel, because there was no possession given them among the sons of Israel.

⁹ Therefore, Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah your God spoke to him.

¹² And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male slaves, and your female slaves, and the Levite within your gates because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

²⁷ And you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

²⁹ And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the alien, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come and shall eat and be satisfied; so that Jehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

¹ The priests, the Levites, all the tribe of Levi shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat fire offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance. ² And he shall have no inheritance among his brothers. Jehovah Himself is his inheritance, as He has spoken to him.

¹⁴ Only, he has not given an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The fire offerings of Jehovah the God of Israel are its inheritance, as He has spoken to it.

³³ But Moses did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. Jehovah the God of Israel Himself is their inheritance, as He has spoken to them.

³ for Moses had given the inheritance of two of the tribes and the half tribe, beyond the Jordan; and he did not give any inheritance to the Levites among them.

⁷ For there shall be no portion to the Levites among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave to them.

⁵ Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You shall surely uphold my destiny.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart waste away; God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.

⁵ I cried to You, O Jehovah; I said, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

²⁴ Jehovah is my portion, says my soul. On account of this I shall hope to Him.

²⁸ And it shall be to them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance; and you shall not give them possession in Israel; I am their possession.

²¹ So let no one glory 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 are yours, ²³ and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

³ And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.

²⁰ and blessed be the most high God, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.

³⁰ And all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, shall be Jehovah's; it is holy to Jehovah. ³¹ And if a man really redeems any of his tithes, he shall add its fifth to it. ³² And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock, all that passes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to Jehovah; ³³ he shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he change it. And if he at all changes it, then it shall be that it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

⁷ and keep his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the work of the tabernacle. ⁸ And they shall keep all the vessels of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the work of the tabernacle.

⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; as a gift they are given to you by Jehovah, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²⁴ but the tithes of the sons of Israel which they shall lift up to Jehovah, a heave offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said to them, They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel. ²⁵ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁶ And you shall say to the Levites; and you shall speak to them, When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel, which I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then you shall lift from it a heave offering of Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.

¹⁷ You may not eat the tithe of your grain within your gates, and of your new wine, and your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock, and any of your vows which you vow, and your freewill offering, and the heave offering of your hand. ¹⁸ But you shall eat it before Jehovah your God in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, you and your son, and your daughter, and your male slave, and your female slave, and the Levite who is within your gates. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God in all that you put your hand to . ¹⁹ Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live on the land.

²² You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed that the field yields year by year. ²³ And you shall eat before Jehovah your God in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God all your days. ²⁴ And if the way is too long for you, so that you cannot carry it, because the place is too far from you which Jehovah your God shall choose to set His name there, when Jehovah your God shall bless you; ²⁵ Then you shall give it for silver, and bind up the silver in your hand. And you shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose. ²⁶ And you shall pay the silver for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for fermented drink, or for whatever your soul desires. And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and you shall rejoice you and your household ²⁷ And you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. ²⁸ At the end of three years, even the same year, you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase, and shall lay it up within your gates. ²⁹ And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the alien, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come and shall eat and be satisfied; so that Jehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

⁵ And as the word spread, the sons of Israel brought abundantly the firstfruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and the tithe of all; they brought very much. ⁶ And the sons of Israel and Judah, those living in the cities of Judah, also they tithed of the herd and the flock, even a tithe of the holy things that were sanctified to Jehovah their God, were brought in. And they piled heaps of heaps.

¹² and they brought in the heave offering, and the tithes, and the holy things, faithfully. And over them was a leader, the Levite Cononiah, and his second brother, Shimei;

²⁹ were holding fast to their brothers, their honored ones; and were entering into a curse and into an oath, to walk in God's law which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and to do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and His judgments and His statutes.

³⁷ And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all kinds of trees, of wine, and of oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; and they, the Levites, might have the tithes in all the cities we worked.

⁴⁴ And at that time some were chosen over the rooms for the treasuries, for the offerings for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather to them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the Law for the priests and the Levites. For Judah rejoiced for the priests, and for the Levites who waited.

¹² Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, into the treasuries.

¹³ Do you not know that those who have labored eat of the holy things of the temple? Those attending on the altar partake with the altar. ¹⁴ So also the Lord ordained those announcing the gospel to live from the gospel.

⁶ But let the one being taught in the word share with the one teaching, in all good things.

⁵ and indeed those of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a command to tithe the people according to Law, (that is, from their brothers, though coming forth out of Abraham's loins),

²⁰ If a man lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle goes forward, the Levites shall take it down. And when the tabernacle is to be encamped, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger that draws near shall be put to death. ⁵² And the sons of Israel shall encamp their tents, each man with his own camp, and each man with his own standard, according to their armies.

⁷ and keep his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the work of the tabernacle.

¹ And Jehovah said to Aaron, You, and your sons, and your father's house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary. And you, and your sons with you, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood;

²⁶ And you shall say to the Levites; and you shall speak to them, When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel, which I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then you shall lift from it a heave offering of Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.

⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, In what have we robbed You? In the tithe and the offering! ⁹ You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the nation, all of it. ¹⁰ Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. And test Me now with this, says Jehovah of hosts, whether I will not open the windows of the heavens for you and pour out a blessing until there is no sufficiency.

²¹ And, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel to the sons of Levi for an inheritance, in return for their service which they are serving, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

³⁸ And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites, tithing the Levites; and the Levites shall bring up the tithes of the tithes to the house of our God to the rooms, into the treasure house.

¹⁹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ This is the offering of Aaron and his sons which they shall bring near to Jehovah on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of flour, a continual food offering; half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. ²¹ It shall be made on a griddle with oil. You shall bring it in mixed. You shall bring baked pieces of the food offering, a soothing fragrance to Jehovah. ²² And the priest who is anointed in his place, from among his sons, shall make it. It is a never ending statute of Jehovah. It shall be completely burned; ²³ and every food offering of a priest is a whole burnt offering. It shall not be eaten.

²⁰ You shall lift up a cake of the first of your dough as a heave offering; as the heave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up.

³⁰ And you shall say to them, When you lift up its fat out of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as increase of a threshing floor, and as increase of a winepress.

¹⁴ You shall richly bestow on him from your flock, and from your threshing floor, and from your winepress, with that which Jehovah your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

²⁷ And he said, If Jehovah does not save you, from where shall I save you? Out of the threshing floor, or out of the winevat?

¹ O Israel, do not rejoice for joy, like the peoples. For you have gone lusting away from your God. You have loved a reward on all threshing-floors of grain. ² The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine; and he was the priest of the most high God.

²⁰ where Jesus entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ And their father Israel said to them, If it be so, then do this: take from the produce of the land in your vessels and bring down a present to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.

²⁷ And your heave offering shall be counted to you as grain from the threshing floor, and as fullness from the winepress. ²⁸ So you also shall lift up the heave offering of Jehovah from all your tithes which you receive from the sons of Israel. And you shall give from it the heave offering of Jehovah to Aaron the priest.

⁵ And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

⁹ Honor Jehovah with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase, ¹⁰ and your barns shall be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst with new wine.

⁸ And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? Bring it now to your governor. Will he accept you or lift up your face? says Jehovah of hosts.

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

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. ³⁸ And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. ³⁹ The one finding his life shall lose it. And the one losing his life on account of Me shall find it.

⁸ But, nay, rather I also count all things to be loss because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them to be trash, that I might gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness of Law, but through the faith of Christ, having the righteousness of God on faith,

²² You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed that the field yields year by year. ²³ And you shall eat before Jehovah your God in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God all your days.

¹⁰ nor provision bag for the road, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staves. For the worker is worthy of his food.

⁷ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things shared by them; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not move from house to house.

¹⁰ Or does He say it altogether because of us? It is written because of us, so that the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing in hope to partake of hope. ¹¹ If we have sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we shall reap of your fleshly things? ¹² If others have a share of the authority over you, should not rather we? But we did not use this authority, but we endured all things, so that we might not give a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

¹³ For what is it in which you were less than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong.

¹⁷ Let the elders who take the lead well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in word and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox treading out grain," and, the laborer is worthy of his pay. Deut. 25:4

⁸ And he who eats it, he shall bear his iniquity; for he has polluted the holy thing of Jehovah, and that person shall be cut off from his people.

² Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, that they set themselves apart from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and that they do not profane My holy name in what they devote to Me; I am Jehovah.

²² And the sons of Israel shall not come near to the tabernacle of the congregation any more, lest they bear sin, and die.

⁷ You are offering defiled food on My altar, and you say, In what have we defiled You? It is in your saying, The table of Jehovah, it is to be despicable.

²⁷ So that whoever should eat this bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, that one will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁹ for he eating and drinking unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
