Numbers 18:29-31
New English Translation
29 From all your gifts you must offer up every raised offering due[a] the Lord, from all the best of it, and the holiest part of it.’[b]
30 “Therefore you will say to them,[c] ‘When you offer up[d] 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. 31 And you may[e] eat it in any place, you and your household, because it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.

- Numbers 18:29 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.
- Numbers 18:29 tn Or “its hallowed thing.”
- Numbers 18:30 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.
- Numbers 18:30 tn The clause begins with the infinitive construct with its preposition and suffixed subject serving to indicate the temporal clause.
- Numbers 18:31 tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive; it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of permission.
