Numbers 18:24-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. being content with the oblation of tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities."

25. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26. "Instruct the Levites, and also declare to them: When you will receive, from the sons of Israel, the tithes, which I have given to you, offer their first-fruits to the Lord, that is, the tenth part of a tenth,

27. so that it may be accounted to you as an oblation of the first-fruits, as much from the threshing floors as from the oil and wine presses.

28. And offer the first-fruits of everything, from which you receive tithes, to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.

29. Everything which you shall offer from the tithes, and which you shall separate as gifts to the Lord, shall be the finest and most select.

30. And you shall say to them: 'If you offer the noble and the better of the tithes, it shall be accounted to you as if you had given from the first-fruits of the threshing floor and of the oil and wine presses.'
