04:018:026 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 LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
04:018:027 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.
04:018:028 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of
all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye
shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
04:018:029 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of
the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out
of it.
04:018:030 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.
04:018:031 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.
04:018:032 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.
04:019:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:019:002 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD 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:
04:019:003 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:
04:019:004 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:
04:019:005 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and
her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
04:019:006 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and
scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
04:019:007 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.
04:019:008 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and
bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
04:019:009 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.
04:019:010 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the
children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them,
for a statute for ever.
