1) The priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and His inheritance, they shall eat. |
א לֹא־יִהְיֶה לַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם כָּל־שֵׁבֶט לֵוִי חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל אִשֵּׁי יְהוָה וְנַחֲלָתוֹ יֹאכֵלוּ׃ |
2) They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord is their inheritance, as He has spoken to them. |
ב וְנַחֲלָה לֹא־יִהְיֶה־לוֹ בְּקֶרֶב אֶחָיו יְהוָה הוּא נַחֲלָתוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־לוֹ׃ |
3) And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the maw. |
ג וְזֶה יִהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט הַכֹּהֲנִים מֵאֵת הָעָם מֵאֵת זֹבְחֵי הַזֶּבַח אִם־שׁוֹר אִם־שֶׂה וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן הַזְּרֹעַ וְהַלְּחָיַיִם וְהַקֵּבָה |
4) The first of your grain, your wine, and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him. |
ד רֵאשִׁית דְּגָנְךָ תִּירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ וְרֵאשִׁית גֵּז צֹאנְךָ תִּתֶּן־לוֹ׃ |
5) For the Lord your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons forever. |
ה כִּי בָוֹ בָּחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִכָּל־שְׁבָטֶיךָ לַעֲמֹד לְשָׁרֵת בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה הוּא וּבָנָיו כָּל־הַיָּמִים׃ |
