RF NUM 18:1 Then the EVER-LIVING commanded Aaron "You and your sons, and the house of your father with you, shall carry the spirit of consecration; and you and your sons with you shall carry the spirit of the priesthood,
RF NUM 18:2 and your brothers of the tribe of Levi, of the standard of your father, shall also approach with you and attend upon you, and guard you, and your sons with you, before the Tabernacle of the Witnesses.
RF NUM 18:3 And they shall guard you, and guard all the Hall, together with the sacred furniture. But they shall not approach to the altar, for fear they, as well as you, should die;
RF NUM 18:4 but they shall attend upon you and guard in watches the Hall of Assembly and all the services of the Hall, and a foreigner shall not approach with them.
RF NUM 18:5 By them also the holy things shall be guarded, and the altar be guarded so that anger may never come upon the children of Israel.
RF NUM 18:6 For I have taken to Myself your brothers of Levi from among the children of Israel, to give them as gifts to the EVER-LIVING, to perform the services of the Hall of Assembly.
RF NUM 18:7 But you and your sons with you shall guard the priesthood, and all the matters of the altar, and of the House of the Veils, and perform the services prescribed for the priesthood. And the stranger who approaches shall die."
RF NUM 18:8 Confirmation of Endowments for the Priesthood.
The EVER-LIVING also said to Aaron "And I, see, I have given to you the guardianship of My High Things, and of all the sacred things of the children of Israel;—I have given them to you and to your sons to consecrate, and to preserve forever.
RF NUM 18:9 "These shall be yours from the sacred offerings;—all the gifts offered by fire; all food-offerings, and sin-offerings; and all the presents which they make to Me. They are consecrated strictly to you, and to your sons.
RF NUM 18:10 You shall eat them in the sanctuary. Every male may eat of them with you. They shall be sacred to you.
RF NUM 18:11 You shall also take something from all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel for yourself and your sons, and for your daughters with you, as a perpetual Institution. All the clean in your house may eat of them.
RF NUM 18:12 "All the melted fat, and the best of the vintage, and the first of the corn which they present to the EVER-LIVING are given to you.
RF NUM 18:13 The first fruits of all that their land produces which they bring to the EVER-LIVING, shall be yours.
RF NUM 18:14 All who are clean in your houses may eat of them. Every convict in Israel shall be yours.
RF NUM 18:15 Every thing bursting the womb of any species which they offer to the EVER-LIVING, whether of man or beast, shall be yours; but you must set free for a ransom the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of cattle you shall free for a sin-offering;
RF NUM 18:16 and they shall be ransomed at a month old, at a valuation of five shekels of silver by the sacred shekel.1
RF NUM 18:17 "You shall not, however, ransom the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, they are sacred; their blood is to be poured out on the altar, and their fat is to be burnt as an offering of pleasant perfume to the EVER-LIVING.
RF NUM 18:18 But of their flesh, the breast shall be yours, for waving it, and the right leg shall be yours.
RF NUM 18:19 All the exalted offerings of the sanctuaries, which the children of Israel lift up to the EVER-LIVING, I give to you, and to your sons with you, as a perpetual Institution. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the EVER-LIVING for you and your posterity after you."
RF NUM 18:20 The EVER-LIVING also said to Aaron, "You shall have no possession in the land, and there shall be no portion for you in it, I am your portion and inheritance among the children of Israel.
RF NUM 18:21 "But to the sons of Levi I give all the tithe of Israel for an inheritance, in payment for the work they perform in the services of the Hall of Assembly,
RF NUM 18:22 and if ever the children of Israel offer a sacrifice in the Hall of Assembly, they shall bear the sin to death;
RF NUM 18:23 because the work of Levi is in the Hall of Assembly, and they shall bear its burden, as a perpetual Institution, for your posterity. Therefore they have no inheritance among the children of Israel,
RF NUM 18:24 for the tithes of the children of Israel which they bring to lift up and present to the EVER-LIVING I give to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, you shall hold no inheritance among the children of Israel."

1. "It is ten grains" is an ancient editor's note.—F.F.
RF NUM 18:25 The EVER-LIVING also spoke to Moses, commanding;—
RF NUM 18:26 "Speak to the Levites and say to them, "Since I have taken you from the children of Israel, the tithe which I have given to you from them as your inheritance,—you shall present from it as a present to the EVER-LIVING,—a tenth of the tithe with which they are tithed, for your account.
RF NUM 18:27 You shall also lift up some of the grain from the corn, and a portion from the grapes.
RF NUM 18:28 Thus you shall present presentations to the EVER-LIVING, from all the tithes which are taken from the children of Israel; and give a part of those presentations to the EVER-LIVING, to Aaron the Priest.
RF NUM 18:29 From all the presentations presented to the EVER-LIVING, present a part of all the best that is consecrated for you.
RF NUM 18:30 "You shall therefore command them,1 when presenting the fat, to account some of it as for the Levites, like the offerings of corn, and the offerings of grapes;
RF NUM 18:31 and they may eat them in any of their villages, and houses, as their wages on account of their work in the Hall of Assembly,
RF NUM 18:32 and they will not be committing sin by taking away the fat, and the offerings of the children of Israel. They do no wrong, and they shall not die. "
—————
1. V. 30. The "them" here clearly refers to the Nation or Offerers, not to the Levites. If this is not borne in mind the passage seems contradictory.—F.F.
