 18:1 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Aaron, 175 Thou x859 and thy sons 1121 and thy father's 1 house 1004 with x854 thee shall bear 5375 z8799 x853 the iniquity 5771 of the sanctuary: 4720 and thou x859 and thy sons 1121 with x854 thee shall bear 5375 z8799 x853 the iniquity 5771 of your priesthood. 3550

 18:2 And x853 thy brethren 251 also x1571 of the tribe 4294 of Levi, 3878 the tribe 7626 of thy father, 1 bring 7126 z8685 thou with x854 thee, that they may be joined 3867 z8735 unto x5921 thee, and minister 8334 z8762 unto thee: but thou x859 and thy sons 1121 with x854 thee [shall minister] before 6440 the tabernacle 168 of witness. 5715

 18:3 And they shall keep 8104 z8804 thy charge, 4931 and the charge 4931 of all x3605 the tabernacle: 168 only x389 they shall not x3808 come nigh 7126 z8799 x413 the vessels 3627 of the sanctuary 6944 and the altar, 4196 that neither x3808 x1571 they, x1992 nor ye x859 also, x1571 die. 4191 z8799

 18:4 And they shall be joined 3867 z8738 unto x5921 thee, and keep 8104 z8804 x853 the charge 4931 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation, 4150 for all x3605 the service 5656 of the tabernacle: 168 and a stranger 2114 z8801 shall not x3808 come nigh 7126 z8799 unto x413 you.

 18:5 And ye shall keep 8104 z8804 x853 the charge 4931 of the sanctuary, 6944 and the charge 4931 of the altar: 4196 that there be x1961 no x3808 wrath 7110 any more x5750 upon x5921 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 18:6 And I, x589 behold, x2009 I have taken 3947 z8804 x853 your brethren 251 the Levites 3881 from among 8432 x4480 the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 to you [they are] given 5414 z8803 [as] a gift 4979 for the LORD, 3068 to do 5647 z8800 x853 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation. 4150

 18:7 Therefore thou x859 and thy sons 1121 with x854 thee shall keep 8104 z8799 x853 your priest's office 3550 for every x3605 thing 1697 of the altar, 4196 and within 1004 x4480 the vail; 6532 and ye shall serve: 5647 z8804 I have given 5414 z8799 x853 your priest's office 3550 [unto you] as a service 5656 of gift: 4979 and the stranger 2114 z8801 that cometh nigh 7131 shall be put to death. 4191 z8714

 18:8 ¶ And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 Aaron, 175 Behold, x2009 I x589 also have given 5414 z8804 thee x853 the charge 4931 of mine heave offerings 8641 of all x3605 the hallowed things 6944 of the children 1121 of Israel; 3478 unto thee have I given 5414 z8804 them by reason of the anointing, 4888 and to thy sons, 1121 by an ordinance 2706 for ever. 5769

 18:9 This x2088 shall be x1961 thine of the most y6944 holy things, 6944 x4480 [reserved] from x4480 the fire: 784 every x3605 oblation 7133 of theirs, every x3605 meat offering 4503 of theirs, and every x3605 sin offering 2403 of theirs, and every x3605 trespass offering 817 of theirs, which x834 they shall render 7725 z8686 unto me, [shall be] most y6944 holy 6944 for thee and for thy sons. 1121

 18:10 In the most y6944 holy 6944 [place] shalt thou eat 398 z8799 it; every x3605 male 2145 shall eat 398 z8799 it: it shall be x1961 holy 6944 unto thee.

 18:11 And this x2088 [is] thine; the heave offering 8641 of their gift, 4976 with all x3605 the wave offerings 8573 of the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 I have given 5414 z8804 them unto thee, and to thy sons 1121 and to thy daughters 1323 with x854 thee, by a statute 2706 for ever: 5769 every one x3605 that is clean 2889 in thy house 1004 shall eat 398 z8799 of it.

 18:12 All x3605 the best 2459 of the oil, 3323 and all x3605 the best 2459 of the wine, 8492 and of the wheat, 1715 the firstfruits 7225 of them which x834 they shall offer 5414 z8799 unto the LORD, 3068 them have I given 5414 z8804 thee.

 18:13 [And] whatsoever x3605 x834 is first ripe 1061 in the land, 776 which x834 they shall bring 935 z8686 unto the LORD, 3068 shall be x1961 thine; every one x3605 that is clean 2889 in thine house 1004 shall eat 398 z8799 [of] it.

 18:14 Every thing x3605 devoted 2764 in Israel 3478 shall be x1961 thine.

 18:15 Every thing x3605 that openeth 6363 the matrix 7358 in all x3605 flesh, 1320 which x834 they bring 7126 z8686 unto the LORD, 3068 [whether it be] of men 120 or beasts, 929 shall be x1961 thine: nevertheless x389 x853 the firstborn 1060 of man 120 shalt thou surely y6299 z8800 redeem, 6299 z8799 and the firstling 1060 of unclean 2931 beasts 929 shalt thou redeem. 6299 z8799

 18:16 And those that are to be redeemed 6299 z8803 from a month 2320 old 1121 x4480 shalt thou redeem, 6299 z8799 according to thine estimation, 6187 for the money 3701 of five 2568 shekels, 8255 after the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary, 6944 which x1931 [is] twenty 6242 gerahs. 1626

 18:17 But x389 the firstling 1060 of a cow, 7794 or x176 the firstling 1060 of a sheep, 3775 or x176 the firstling 1060 of a goat, 5795 thou shalt not x3808 redeem; 6299 z8799 they x1992 [are] holy: 6944 thou shalt sprinkle 2236 z8799 x853 their blood 1818 upon x5921 the altar, 4196 and shalt burn 6999 z8686 their fat 2459 [for] an offering made by fire, 801 for a sweet 5207 savour 7381 unto the LORD. 3068

 18:18 And the flesh 1320 of them shall be x1961 thine, as the wave 8573 breast 2373 and as the right 3225 shoulder 7785 are x1961 thine.

 18:19 All x3605 the heave offerings 8641 of the holy things, 6944 which x834 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 offer 7311 z8686 unto the LORD, 3068 have I given 5414 z8804 thee, and thy sons 1121 and thy daughters 1323 with x854 thee, by a statute 2706 for ever: 5769 it x1931 [is] a covenant 1285 of salt 4417 for ever 5769 before 6440 the LORD 3068 unto thee and to thy seed 2233 with x854 thee.

 18:20 ¶ And the LORD 3068 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 Aaron, 175 Thou shalt have no inheritance 5157 z8799 x3808 in their land, 776 neither x3808 shalt thou have x1961 any part 2506 among 8432 them: I x589 [am] thy part 2506 and thine inheritance 5159 among 8432 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 18:21 And, behold, x2009 I have given 5414 z8804 the children 1121 of Levi 3878 all x3605 the tenth 4643 in Israel 3478 for an inheritance, 5159 for 2500 their service 5656 which x834 they x1992 serve, 5647 z8802 [even] x853 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation. 4150

 18:22 Neither x3808 must the children 1121 of Israel 3478 henceforth 5750 come nigh 7126 z8799 x413 the tabernacle 168 of the congregation, 4150 lest they bear 5375 z8800 sin, 2399 and die. 4191 z8800

 18:23 But the Levites 3881 shall do 5647 z8804 x853 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation, 4150 and they x1992 shall bear 5375 z8799 their iniquity: 5771 [it shall be] a statute 2708 for ever 5769 throughout your generations, 1755 that among 8432 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 they have 5157 z8799 no x3808 inheritance. 5159

 18:24 But x3588 x853 the tithes 4643 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 which x834 they offer 7311 z8686 [as] an heave offering 8641 unto the LORD, 3068 I have given 5414 z8804 to the Levites 3881 to inherit: 5159 therefore x5921 x3651 I have said 559 z8804 unto them, Among 8432 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 they shall have 5157 z8799 no x3808 inheritance. 5159

 18:25 ¶ And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 Moses, 4872 saying, 559 z8800

 18:26 Thus speak 1696 z8762 unto x413 the Levites, 3881 and say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, When x3588 ye take 3947 z8799 of x4480 x854 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 x853 the tithes 4643 which x834 I have given 5414 z8804 you from x4480 x854 them for your inheritance, 5159 then ye shall offer y7311 z8689 up x7311 an heave offering 8641 of x4480 it for the LORD, 3068 [even] a tenth 4643 [part] of x4480 the tithe. 4643

 18:27 And [this] your heave offering 8641 shall be reckoned 2803 z8738 unto you, as though [it were] the corn 1715 of x4480 the threshingfloor, 1637 and as the fulness 4395 of x4480 the winepress. 3342

 18:28 Thus x3651 ye x859 also x1571 shall offer 7311 z8686 an heave offering 8641 unto the LORD 3068 of all x4480 x3605 your tithes, 4643 which x834 ye receive 3947 z8799 of x4480 x854 the children 1121 of Israel; 3478 and ye shall give 5414 z8804 thereof x4480 x853 the LORD'S 3068 heave offering 8641 to Aaron 175 the priest. 3548

 18:29 Out of all x4480 x3605 your gifts 4979 ye shall offer 7311 z8686 x853 every x3605 heave offering 8641 of the LORD, 3068 of all x4480 x3605 the best 2459 thereof, [even] x853 the hallowed part 4720 thereof out of x4480 it.

 18:30 Therefore thou shalt say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, When ye have heaved 7311 z8687 x853 the best 2459 thereof from x4480 it, then it shall be counted 2803 z8738 unto the Levites 3881 as the increase 8393 of the threshingfloor, 1637 and as the increase 8393 of the winepress. 3342

 18:31 And ye shall eat 398 z8804 it in every x3605 place, 4725 ye x859 and your households: 1004 for x3588 it x1931 [is] your reward 7939 for 2500 your service 5656 in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation. 4150

 18:32 And ye shall bear 5375 z8799 no x3808 sin 2399 by reason of x5921 it, when ye have heaved 7311 z8687 from it x853 the best 2459 of x4480 it: neither x3808 shall ye pollute 2490 z8762 the holy things 6944 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 lest x3808 ye die. 4191 z8799
