burn their fat to be a sacrifice of a sweet savour unto the LORD. And
the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wavebreast and all the right
shoulder is thine. All the holy heave offerings which the children of
Israel heave unto the LORD, I give thee and thy sons and thy daughters
with thee to be a duty for ever. And it shall be a salted covenant for
ever, before the LORD: unto thee and to thy seed with thee. And the
LORD spake unto Aaron: thou shalt have none inheritance in their land,
nor part among them. For I am thy part and thy inheritance among the
children of Israel. And behold I have given the children of Levi, the
tenth in Israel to inherit, for the service which they serve in the
tabernacle of witness, that the children of Israel henceforth come not
nye the tabernacle of witness, and bear sin and die. And the Levites
shall do the service in the tabernacle of witness and bear their sin,
and it shall be a law for ever unto your children after you: But among
the children of Israel they shall inherit none inheritance. For the
tithes of the children of Israel which they heave unto the LORD, I have
given the Levites to inherit. Wherefore I have said unto them: Among
the children of Israel ye shall inherit none inheritance. And the LORD
spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the Levites and say unto them: when
ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you of
them to your inheritance, ye shall take an heaveoffering of that same
for the LORD: even the tenth of that tithe. And it shall be reckoned
unto you for your heaveoffering, even as though ye gave corn out of the
barn or a full offering from the wine press. And of this manner ye
shall heave an heaveoffering unto the LORD, of all your tithes which ye
receive of the children of Israel, and ye shall give there of the
LORD's heave offering unto Aaron the priest. Of all your gifts, ye
shall take out the LORD's heaveoffering: even the fat of all their
hallowed things. And thou shalt say unto them: when ye have taken away
the fat of it from it, it shall be counted unto the Levites, as the
increase of corn and wine. And ye shall eat it in all places both ye
and your households, for it is your rewards for your service in the
tabernacle of witness. And ye shall bear no sin by the reason of it,
when ye have taken from it the fat of it: neither shall ye unhallow the
hallowed things of the children of Israel, and so shall ye not die.
