Numbers 18

1 So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.

And he said Yahweh to Aaron you and sons your and [the] house of ancestor your with you you will bear [the] guilt of the sanctuary and you and sons your with you you will bear [the] guilt of priesthood your.

2 But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.

And also brothers your [the] tribe of Levi [the] tribe of ancestor your bring near with you so they may join themselves to you so they may serve you and you and sons your with you [will be] before [the] tent of the testimony.

3 And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.

And they will keep service your and [the] service of all the tent only to [the] equipment of the holy place and to the altar not they will draw near and not they will die both they as well as you.

4 They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.

And they will join themselves to you and they will keep [the] duty of [the] tent of meeting to all [the] service of the tent and a stranger not he will draw near to you.

5 And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.

And you will keep [the] service of the holy place and [the] service of the altar and not it will be again wrath towards [the] people of Israel.

6 Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.

And I here! I have taken brothers your the Levites from among [the] people of Israel to you a gift assigned to Yahweh to serve [the] service of [the] tent of meeting.

7 But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”

And you and sons your with you you will keep priesthood your to every matter of the altar and to from inside to the curtain and you will serve a service of a gift I give priesthood your and the stranger approaching he will be put to death.

8 Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.

And he spoke Yahweh to Aaron and I here! I give to you [the] charge of contributions my to all [the] holy gifts of [the] people of Israel to you I give them to a portion and to sons your to a prescribed portion of perpetuity.

9 A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.

This it will belong to you from [the] holy thing of the holy things from the fire every offering their to every grain offering their and to every sin offering their and to every guilt offering their which they will give back to me [will be] a holy thing of holy things for you it and for sons your.

10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.

[the] holy thing of The holy things you will eat it every male he will eat it a holy thing it will be for you.

11 And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.

And this [will belong] to you [the] contribution of gift their to all [the] wave-offerings of [the] people of Israel to you I give them and to sons your and to daughters your with you to a prescribed portion of perpetuity every clean [person] among household your he will eat it.

12 I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.

All [the] best of [the] fresh oil and all [the] best of [the] new wine and grain first [fruit] their which they will give to Yahweh to you I give them.

13 The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.

[the] first-fruits of All that [is] in land their which they will bring to Yahweh to you it will belong every clean [person] among household your he will eat it.

14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.

Every devoted thing in Israel to you it will belong.

15 The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.

Every firstborn of a womb of all flesh which they will bring near to Yahweh among humankind and among animal[s] it will belong to you only - certainly you will redeem [the] firstborn of humankind and [the] firstborn of animal[s] unclean you will redeem.

16 You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.

And redemption price its from a son of a month you will redeem [it] by valuation your [will be] silver five shekels by [the] shekel of the holy place [is] twenty gerah[s] it.

17 But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

Only [the] firstborn of a cow or [the] firstborn of a sheep or [the] firstborn of a goat not you will redeem [are] holy thing[s] they blood their you will sprinkle on the altar and fat their you will make smoke a fire offering to an odor of soothing to Yahweh.

18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.

And meat their it will belong to you like [the] breast of the wave-offering and like [the] thigh of the right to you it will belong.

19 All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”

All - [the] contributions of the holy gifts which they will offer up [the] people of Israel to Yahweh I give to you and to sons your and to daughters your with you to a prescribed portion of perpetuity [is] a covenant of salt of perpetuity it before Yahweh to you and to offspring your with you.

20 Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

And he said Yahweh to Aaron in land their not you will have an inheritance and a share not it will belong to you in midst of them I [am] share your and inheritance your in among [the] people of Israel.

21 Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.

And to [the] descendants of Levi here! I give every tithe in Israel for an inheritance in return for service their which they [are] serving [the] service of [the] tent of meeting.

22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.

And not they will draw near again [the] people of Israel to [the] tent of meeting to bear sin to die.

23 The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.

And he will serve the Levite[s] he [the] service of [the] tent of meeting and they they will bear iniquity their a statute of perpetuity to generations your and in among [the] people of Israel not they will inherit an inheritance.

24 For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”

For [the] tithe of [the] people of Israel which they will offer up to Yahweh a contribution I give to the Levites for an inheritance there-fore I have said of them in among [the] people of Israel not they will inherit an inheritance.

25 And the LORD instructed Moses,

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

26 “Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.

And to the Levites you will speak and you will say to them if you will take from with [the] people of Israel the tithe which I give to you from with them inheritance your and you will offer up from it [the] contribution of Yahweh a tithe of the tithe.

27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.

And it will be reckoned to you contribution your like the grain from the threshing floor and like the full produce from the wine-press.

28 So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.

Thus you will offer up also you contribution of Yahweh from all tithes your which you will take from with [the] people of Israel and you will give from it [the] contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.

29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’

From all gifts your you will offer up every contribution of Yahweh some of all best its sacred part of its from it.

30 Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.

And you will say to them when offer up you best of its from it and it will be reckoned to the Levites like [the] produce of a threshing floor and like [the] produce of a wine-press.

31 And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.

And you will eat it in any place you and household your for [is] wage[s] it of you in return for service your in [the] tent of meeting.

32 Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”

And not you will bear on it sin when offer up you best of its from it and [the] holy gifts of [the] people of Israel not you will profane and not you will die.
