The Tithe of the Levites (The Tithe of the Tithe)

25

ADONAI said to Moshe,

26

"Tell the L'vi'im, 'When you take from the people of Isra'el the tenth of the produce which I have given you from them as your inheritance, you are to set aside from it a gift for ADONAI, one tenth of the tenth.

27

The gift you set aside will be accounted to you as if it were grain from the thresh-ing-floor and grape juice from the wine vat.

28

In this way you will set aside a gift for ADONAI from all your tenths that you receive from the people of Isra'el, and from these tenths you are to give to Aharon the cohen the gift set aside for ADONAI.

29

From everything given to you, you are to set aside all that is due ADONAI, the best part of it, its holy portion.'

30

"Therefore you are to tell them, 'When you set aside from it its best part, it will be accounted to the L'vi'im as if it were grain from the threshing-floor and grape juice from the wine vat.

31

You may eat it anywhere, you and your households; because it is your payment in return for your service in the tent of meeting.

32

Moreover, because you will have set aside from it its best parts, you will not be committing any sin because of it; for you are not to profane the holy things of the people of Isra'el, or you will die.'" 21; Y'hudah (Jude) 1-25
