Numbers 18:26-29

26 "Moreover, you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you take from the sons of Israel 1the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the LORD, a 2tithe of the tithe.
27 'Your offering shall be reckoned to you as the grain from the threshing floor or the full produce from the wine vat.
28 'So you shall also present an offering to the LORD from your tithes, which you receive from the sons of Israel; and from it you shall give the LORD'S offering to Aaron the priest.
29 'Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the LORD, from all the best of them, the sacred part from them.'
