Numbers 18:30
Context18:30 “Therefore you will say to them, 3 ‘When you offer up 4 the best of it, then it will be credited to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor and as the product of the winepress.
1 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.
2 tn Heb “fullness,” meaning the fullness of the harvest, i.e., a full harvest.
3 tn The wording of this verse is confusing; it may be that it is addressed to the priests, telling them how to deal with the offerings of the Levites.
4 tn The clause begins with the infinitive construct with its preposition and suffixed subject serving to indicate the temporal clause.
