19.Whatever is set aside from the holy offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your regular share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord for both you and your offspring." 20.The Lord said to Aaron, "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites. 21."I give to the Levites all the tithes in Istael as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting. 22.From now on the Israelites must not go near the Tent of Meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die. 23.It is the Levites who are to do the work at the Tent of Meeting and bear the responsibility for offenses against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites. 24.Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord. That is why I said concering them: 'They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.' " 25.The Lord said to Moses, 26."Speak to the Levites and say to them: 'When you receive from the Israelites the tithes I give as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord's offering. 27.Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress. 28.In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the Lord's portion to Aaron the priest. 29.You must present as the Lord's portion the best and holiest part of everything given to you.' 30."Say to the Levites: 'When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress. 31.You and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere, for it is your wages for your work at the Tent of Meeting. 32.By pressing the best part of it you will not be guilty in this matter, then you will not defile the holy offering of the Israrlites, and you will not die.'
