Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

Unto the Levites, therefore shalt thou speak and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.

shall your heave-offering be reckoned your own, - as corn out of the threshing-floor, and as the abundance out of the wine-press.

Thus, shall ye also, offer up the heave-offering of Yahweh, out of all your tenths which ye shall take from the sons of Israel, - and give therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Aaron the priest.

Out of all your gifts, shall ye offer up every b heave-offering of Yahweh, - out of all the best thereof, the hallowed pert thereof out of it.

And thou shalt say unto them, - When ye offer the best thereof out of it, then shall it be reckoned to belong unto the Levites, as the increase of the threshing-floor and as the increase of the wine-press,

And ye shall eat it in any place, ye, and your household, - for a reward, it is unto you, the allotted portion for your laborious work in the tent of meeting.

And ye shall not by reason of it bear sin, when ye offer up the best thereof, out of it; and the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, shall ye not profane neither shall ye die.
