Numbers 18:21 - 18:32

18:21 “Behold, I have given to the descendants of Levi every tithe in Israel as an inheritance in return for their service, which they are doing, the work of the tent of assembly.
18:22 The Israelites will not come near again to the tent of assembly, or they will bear sin and die.
18:23 The Levites will perform the service of the tent of assembly, and they will bear their guilt, an eternal decree for all your generations. But they will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites
18:24 because the tithes of the Israelites that are offered to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, ‘They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites.’”
18:25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18:26 “You will speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you receive the tithe from the Israelites that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tithe from a tithe.
18:27 Your contribution will be credited to you like the grain from the threshing floor and like the produce from the press.
18:28 So you will present your own contribution to Yahweh from all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites; from it you will give the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
18:29 From all your gifts you will present every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, the part that is sacred.’
18:30 You will say to them, ‘When you are presenting its fat, the rest will be credited to the Levites like a yield of the threshing floor and like a yield from the press.
18:31 You may eat it anywhere, you and your household, because it is a wage in return for your service in the tent of assembly.
18:32 You will not bear any sin because you have presented its fat; you will not defile the holy objects of the Israelites, or you will die.’”

Gospel — Luke 18:15-30

LEB translation

Luke 18:15-30

18:15 Little Children Brought to Jesus Now they were bringing even their babies to him so that he could touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
18:16 But Jesus called them to himself, saying, “Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
18:17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
18:18 A Rich Young Man And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, by doing what will I inherit eternal life?”
18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
18:20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’”
18:21 And he said, “All these I have observed from my youth.”
18:22 And when he heard this, Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have, and distribute the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
18:23 But when he heard these things he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
18:24 And Jesus took notice of him and said, “How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!
18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.
18:26 So those who heard this said, “And who can be saved?”
18:27 But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
18:28 And Peter said, “Behold, we have left all that is ours and followed you.”
18:29 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children on account of the kingdom of God,
18:30 who will not receive many times more in this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”
