Numbers 18:11
18:11 “And this is yours: the raised offering of their gift, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual ordinance. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your household may eat of it.
Numbers 18:18
18:18 And their meat will be yours, just as the breast and the right hip of the raised offering is yours.
Numbers 18:26-29
18:26 “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 1 from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe.
18:27 And your raised offering will be credited 2 to you as though it were grain from the threshing floor or as new wine 3 from the winepress.
18:28 Thus you are to offer up a raised offering to the Lord of all your tithes which you receive from the Israelites; and you must give the Lord’s raised offering from it to Aaron the priest.
18:29 From all your gifts you must offer up every raised offering due 4 the Lord, from all the best of it, and the holiest part of it.’ 5
1 tn The verb in this clause is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive; it has the same force as an imperfect of instruction: “when…then you are to offer up.”
2 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.
3 tn Heb “fullness,” meaning the fullness of the harvest, i.e., a full harvest.
4 tn The construction is “every raised offering of the Lord”; the genitive here is probably to be taken as a genitive of worth – the offering that is due the Lord.
5 tn Or “its hallowed thing.”
