These are the commands that the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the people of Israel.
Numbers 18:21-32
21
The LORD said, "I have given to the Levites every tithe that the people of Israel present to me. This is in payment for their service in taking care of the Tent of my presence.
22
The other Israelites must no longer approach the Tent and in this way bring on themselves the penalty of death.
23
From now on only the Levites will take care of the Tent and bear the full responsibility for it. This is a permanent rule that applies also to your descendants. The Levites shall have no permanent property in Israel,
24
because I have given to them as their possession the tithe which the Israelites present to me as a special contribution. That is why I told them that they would have no permanent property in Israel."
25
The LORD commanded Moses
26
to say to the Levites: "When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that the LORD gives you as your possession, you must present a tenth of it as a special contribution to the LORD.
27
This special contribution will be considered as the equivalent of the offering which the farmer makes of new grain and new wine.
28
In this way you also will present the special contribution that belongs to the LORD from all the tithes which you receive from the Israelites. You are to give this special contribution for the LORD to Aaron the priest.
29
Give it from the best that you receive.
30
When you have presented the best part, you may keep the rest, just as the farmer keeps what is left after he makes his offering.
31
You and your families may eat the rest anywhere, because it is your wages for your service in the Tent.
32
You will not become guilty when you eat it, as long as you have presented the best of it to the LORD. But be sure not to profane the sacred gifts of the Israelites by eating any of the gifts before the best part is offered; if you do, you will be put to death."
Joshua 7:11
Israel has sinned! They have broken the agreement with me that I ordered them to keep. They have taken some of the things condemned to destruction. They stole them, lied about it, and put them with their own things.
Nehemiah 13:4-14
4
The priest Eliashib, who was in charge of the Temple storerooms, had for a long time been on good terms with Tobiah.
5
He allowed Tobiah to use a large room that was intended only for storing offerings of grain and incense, the equipment used in the Temple, the offerings for the priests, and the tithes of grain, wine, and olive oil given to the Levites, to the Temple musicians, and to the Temple guards.
6
While this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, because in the thirty-second year that Artaxerxes was king of Babylon I had gone back to report to him. After some time I received his permission
7
and returned to Jerusalem. There I was shocked to find that Eliashib had allowed Tobiah to use a room in the Temple.
8
I was furious and threw out all of Tobiah's belongings.
9
I gave orders for the rooms to be ritually purified and for the Temple equipment, grain offerings, and incense to be put back.
10
I also learned that the Temple musicians and other Levites had left Jerusalem and gone back to their farms, because the people had not been giving them enough to live on.
11
I reprimanded the officials for letting the Temple be neglected. And I brought the Levites and musicians back to the Temple and put them to work again.
12
Then all the people of Israel again started bringing to the Temple storerooms their tithes of grain, wine, and olive oil.
13
I put the following men in charge of the storerooms: Shelemiah, a priest; Zadok, a scholar of the Law; and Pedaiah, a Levite. Hanan, the son of Zaccur and grandson of Mattaniah, was to be their assistant. I knew I could trust these men to be honest in distributing the supplies to the other workers.
14
Remember, my God, all these things that I have done for your Temple and its worship.
