Numbers 18

1 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.

The LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 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.

Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.

3 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.

They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.

4 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.

They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.

5 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.

"You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.

6 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.

And as for me, look, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to the LORD, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

7 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.

You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything concerning the altar, and for that inside the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."

8 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.

The LORD spoke to Aaron, "I, look, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.

9 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.

This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 [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.

You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.

11 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.

"This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

12 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.

"All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to the LORD, to you have I given them.

13 [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.

The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

14 Every devoted thing in Israel to you it will belong.

"Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.

15 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.

Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to the LORD, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.

16 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.

You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

17 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.

"But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

18 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.

Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.

19 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.

All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD to you and to your descendants with you."

20 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.

The LORD said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 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.

"To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.

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

Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 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.

But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

24 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.

For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, 'Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'"

25 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

26 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.

"Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, 'When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.

27 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.

Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 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.

Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give the LORD's wave offering to Aaron the priest.

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

Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of the LORD, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.'

30 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.

"Therefore you shall tell them, 'When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 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.

You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.

32 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.

You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.'"
