But you shall not (C)profane the holy gifts of the children of Israel, lest you die.’ ”

30 “Say to the Levites: ‘When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress.(A) 31 You and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere, for it is your wages for your work at the tent of meeting.(B) 32 By presenting the best part(C) of it you will not be guilty in this matter;(D) then you will not defile the holy offerings(E) of the Israelites, and you will not die.’”

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
