Numbers 17:25 - 18:20

18:1 The Duties of the Priests and Levities Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your family with you will bear the guilt of the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you will bear the guilt of your priesthood.
18:2 Moreover, bring your brothers with you, the tribe of Levi the tribe of your father, that they may be joined to you and minister to you, you and your sons with you before the tent of testimony.
18:3 They will keep your responsibility and the responsibility of all the tent, only they may not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, so both you and they will not die.
18:4 They will be joined to you, and they will keep the responsibility of the tent of assembly for the entire service of the tent; a stranger may not come near you.
18:5 You will keep the responsibility of the sanctuary and the responsibility of the altar, and there will no longer be wrath on the Israelites.
18:6 Look, I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from the midst of the children. They are a gift to you given from Yahweh to perform the work of the tent of assembly.
18:7 But you with your sons will keep your priesthood to perform your priestly duties for everything at the altar and for the area behind the curtain. I give you the priesthood as a gift, but the stranger who approaches will be put to death.”
18:8 Portions for the Priests Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given to you the responsibility of my contributions for all the holy objects of the Israelites; I have given them as a portion to you and your sons as an eternal decree.
18:9 This will be for you from the sanctuary of the holy things from the fire; all of their offerings, from every grain offering, from every sin offering, and from every guilt offering which they will bring to me is a most holy thing for you and your sons.
18:10 You will eat it in the most holy place; every male will eat it. It will be a holy object to you.
18:11 This is also for you: the contribution of their gift of the wave offerings of the children Israel. I have given them to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; whoever is clean in your house may eat it.
18:12 All the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and their best grain that they have given to Yahweh, I have given them to you.
18:13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land that they present to Yahweh will be for you; whoever is clean in your house may eat it.
18:14 All consecrated possessions in Israel will be for you.
18:15 All the first offspring of a womb of any creature that they offer to Yahweh, whether human or animal, will be yours; you will surely redeem the firstborn of the human and the unclean firstborn of the animal.
18:16 As to their price of redemption, from a one-month-old you will redeem them according to your proper value, five shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerah.
18:17 Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they are holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
18:18 But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh.
18:19 All the contributions of holiness that the Israelites offer to Yahweh I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; it is an eternal covenant of salt before Yahweh to you and your offspring with you.”
18:20 Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will not receive an inheritance in their land, and there will not be a plot of ground for you in the midst of the Israelites.

LEB translation

Luke 18:1-14

18:1 The Parable of the Unjust Judge And he told them a parable to show that they must always pray and not be discouraged,
18:2 saying, “There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people.
18:3 And there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary!’
18:4 And he was not willing for a time, but after these things he said to himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God or respect people,
18:5 yet because this widow is causing trouble for me, I will grant her justice, so that she does not wear me down in the end by her coming back!’”
18:6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge is saying!
18:7 And will not God surely see to it that justice is done to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?
18:8 I tell you that he will see to it that justice is done for them soon! Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, then will he find faith on earth?”
18:9 The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector And he also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on everyone else:
18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things with reference to himself: ‘God, I give thanks to you that I am not like other people—swindlers, unrighteous people, adulterers, or even like this tax collector!
18:12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all that I get.’
18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that one! For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
