## Numbers 18:21-26 in Context (Verses 18–29 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/numbers/18/18) And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/numbers/18/19) All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it *is* a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/numbers/18/20) ¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I *am* thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/numbers/18/21) 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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/numbers/18/22) Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/numbers/18/23) But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: *it shall be* a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/numbers/18/24) But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer *as* an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/numbers/18/25) ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
 [26 ](/kjv/numbers/18/26) 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.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/numbers/18/27) 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.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/numbers/18/28) Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/numbers/18/29) 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.*
