And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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 thetithe.

And your heave offering shall be counted to you as grain from the threshing floor, and as fullness from the winepress.

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.

You shall lift up the whole heave offering of Jehovah out of all your gifts, out of all its fat, its holy part, out of it.

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.

And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And you shall bear no sin because of it, since you have lifted up from it the best of it. And you shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel so that you may not die.
