23
But the Levites shall do the work of service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute, throughout your generations, that they shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel.
24
For the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer up as a heave offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, They shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel.
25
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
26
Speak thus to the Levites, and say to them: When you take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it unto Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
27
And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor and as the fullness of the winepress.

29
Of all your gifts you shall offer up every heave offering of Jehovah, from all the best of them, the consecrated part of them.
30
Therefore you shall say to them: When you have lifted up the best of it, then the rest shall be accounted to the Levites as the produce of the threshing floor and as the produce of the winepress.
31
You shall eat it in any place, you and your houses, for it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.
32
And you shall bear no sin because of it, when you have lifted up from it the best of it. And you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.
