所以，你们要守我所吩咐的，免得你们随从那些可憎的恶俗，就是在你们以先的人所常行的，以致玷污了自己。我是耶和华你们的神。
Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
凡以色列中出产的十分之一，我已赐给利未的子孙为业。因他们所办的是会幕的事，所以赐给他们为酬他们的劳。
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
从今以后，以色列人不可挨近会幕，免得他们担罪而死。
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
耶和华吩咐摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
你晓谕利未人说，你们从以色列人中所取的十分之一，就是我给你们为业的，要再从那十分之一中取十分之一作为举祭献给耶和华，
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.
这举祭要算为你们场上的谷，又如满酒榨的酒。
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.
奉给你们的一切礼物，要从其中将至好的，就是分别为圣的，献给耶和华为举祭。
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.
所以你要对利未人说，你们从其中将至好的举起，这就算为你们场上的粮，又如酒榨的酒。
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.
你们和你们家属随处可以吃。这原是你们的赏赐，是酬你们在会幕里办事的劳。
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.
祭司利未人和利未全支派必在以色列中无分无业。他们所吃用的就是献给耶和华的火祭和一切所捐的。
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
