Numbers 18:24

Context
18:24 But I have given 1  to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the Israelites that are offered 2  to the Lord as a raised offering. That is why I said to them that among the Israelites they are to have no inheritance.”

1 tn The classification of the perfect tense here too could be the perfect of resolve, since this law is declaring what will be their portion – “I have decided to give.”

2 tn In the Hebrew text the verb has no expressed subject (although the “Israelites” is certainly intended), and so it can be rendered as a passive.
