So the LORD said to Aaron , “ You and your sons and your father’s ... house must bear - the iniquity (involving) the sanctuary. And you and your sons (alone) must bear - the iniquity (involving) your priesthood.
| LXX |
But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi , the tribe of your father , that they may join you and assist you and your sons ... before the Tent of the Testimony.
| LXX |
And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties ... of the Tent ; ... but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar , or both they and you will die.
| LXX |
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting , doing all the work at the Tent ; but no outsider may come near you.
| LXX |
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary (and) of the altar , so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites ... again.
| LXX |
Behold , I Myself have selected - your fellow Levites from the Israelites ... as a gift dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
| LXX |
But only you and your sons ... shall attend - to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil , and you are to perform that service. I am giving - you the work of the priesthood as a gift , but any outsider who comes near (the sanctuary) must be put to death. ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Aaron , “ Behold , I have put - in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings vvv of the Israelites , I have given them and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
| LXX |
- A portion of the most holy offerings ... (reserved) from the fire will be From all the offerings ... - they render as most holy (offerings) ... , whether grain offerings ... or sin offerings ... or guilt offerings , (that part) belongs and your sons.
| LXX |
You are to eat it as a most holy (offering) ... , (and) every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy
| LXX |
And this the offering of their gifts , along with all the wave offerings vvv of the Israelites. I have given this and your sons and daughters ... as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it -.
| LXX |
I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
| LXX |
The firstfruits of everything - in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
| LXX |
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
| LXX |
The firstborn ... ... of every womb , whether man or beast , that is offered to the LORD belongs But you must surely redeem ... - every firstborn son - (and) every firstborn male of unclean animals.
| LXX |
You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male ... ... according to your valuation : five shekels of silver , according to the sanctuary shekel , which is twenty gerahs.
| LXX |
But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox , a sheep , ... ... or ... a goat ; they - are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar - and burn their fat as an offering made by fire , a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
| LXX |
And their meat belongs just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong
| LXX |
All the holy offerings that vvv the Israelites present to the LORD I give and to your sons and daughters ... as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD and your offspring .... ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD ... said to Aaron , “ You will have no inheritance in their land , nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites ....
| LXX |
Behold , I have given to the Levites ... all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work - they do , - the service of the Tent of Meeting.
| LXX |
No longer may the Israelites ... come near to the Tent of Meeting , or they will incur guilt and die.
| LXX |
The Levites ... - are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting , and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance ... among the Israelites ....
| LXX |
For - I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites ... present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why ... I told them that they would not receive an inheritance ... among the Israelites .... ”
| LXX |
And the LORD ... instructed Moses ... ,
| LXX |
“ Speak to the Levites and tell them ... : ‘ When you receive from the Israelites ... - the tithe that I have given ... as your inheritance , you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD — a tithe of the tithe.
| LXX |
Your offering will be reckoned as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
| LXX |
So you are to present ... an offering to the LORD from all the tithes - you receive ... from the Israelites ... , and from (these) - you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
| LXX |
You must present - the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift , - the holiest part of it. ’
| LXX |
Therefore say to (the Levites) , ‘ When you have presented - the best part - , it will be reckoned (to you) as the produce of the threshing floor vvv or winepress.
| LXX |
And you and your households ... may eat (the rest of it) anywhere - - ... ; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
| LXX |
Once you have presented - the best part of it , you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings vvv of the Israelites , or else you will die. ’”
