24 Kay ang ikapulo sa mga anak sa Israel nga ilang gihalad ingon sa halad-nga-binayaw kang Jehova, akong gihatag nga panulondon sa mga Levihanon: tungod niana giingon ko kanila: sa taliwala sa mga anak sa Israel, sila walay panulondon.

Malachi 3:8-10
Reciprocal: Exodus 25:2 - offering Exodus 29:28 - is an heave Leviticus 7:14 - an heave Numbers 18:20 - no inheritance Numbers 18:21 - the tenth Numbers 31:30 - and give Deuteronomy 12:12 - General Deuteronomy 26:12 - the tithes Nehemiah 10:37 - and the tithes Luke 18:12 - I give
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the tithe of the children of Israel,.... The tenth of the produce of their land, as before:
which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the Lord: by way of gratitude to him for giving them the land, and for making it so fruitful to them, and as an acknowledgment of his being the sovereign Lord and proprietor of it:
I have given to the Levites to inherit; so that the Levites had the tithe not immediately from the Israelites, nor were they dependent on them for them; but they were first given to the Lord, and then by him to the Levites, who held them of him, and not of the Israelites; and were a portion and an inheritance, settled upon them by the Lord himself, which they had as good a right and title unto as the rest of the tribes had to their several inheritances:
therefore have I said unto them, among the children, of Israel they shall have no inheritance; as in Numbers 18:23.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Here the tithes (and in Numbers 18:26 the priestly tithes) are to be dedicated to their purpose by the ceremony of heaving them to the Lord. The tithes, being solemnly set apart for sacred purposes, became virtually a heave-offering, like the gifts for the tabernacle Exodus 25:2.
