Basic HTML Version
the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin,
and die.
23
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall
bear their iniquity:
it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children
of Israel they have no inheritance.
24
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer
as
an
heave offering unto the L
ORD
, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them,
Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
25
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
26
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the L
ORD
,
even
a tenth
part
of the tithe.
27
And
this
your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though
it were
the corn of the
threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
28
Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering
unto the L
ORD
of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof
the L
ORD
’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.
29
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave
offering of the L
ORD
, of all the best thereof,
even
the hallowed part thereof out of it.
30
Therefore
thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted
unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
31
And
ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it
is
your reward for your service in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
32
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved
from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
CHAPTER 19
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2
This
is
the ordinance of the law which
the L
ORD
hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red
heifer without spot, wherein
is
no blemish,
and
upon which never came yoke:
3
And ye shall give
her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and
one
shall slay her
before his face:
4
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her
blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5
And
one
shall burn the heifer
in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6
And the priest
shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast
it
into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
8
And he that burneth her shall
wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9
And
a man
that is
clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay
them
up without the camp in a
clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation:
it
is
a purification for sin.
10
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,
