New English Translation

Instructions for the Levites

25 The Lord spoke to Moses: 26 “You are to speak to the Levites, and you must tell them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you are to offer up[a] from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe. 27 And your raised offering will be credited[b] to you as though it were grain from the threshing floor or as new wine[c] from the winepress.

  2. Numbers 18:27 tn The verb is חָשַׁב (khashav, “to reckon; to count; to think”); it is the same verb used for “crediting” Abram with righteousness. Here the tithe of the priests will be counted as if it were a regular tithe.
