24. because the tithes of the Israelites that are offered to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, ‘They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites.’ ”
25. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26. “You will speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you receive the tithe from the Israelites that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tithe from a tithe.
27. Your contribution will be credited to you like the grain from the threshing floor and like the produce from the press.
28. So you will present your own contribution to Yahweh from all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites; from it you will give the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
29. From all your gifts you will present every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, the part that is sacred.’
