26Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.
27And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.
28So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.
29From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.
30Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.
31It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.
32And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.
