Numbers 18 · Grade 3
I Am Your Inheritance
Read the Story
After chapter 17, the people cried that anyone who came near the tabernacle would die. God gave Aaron and his sons the duty of the sanctuary and the altar. Then there would be no more wrath on Israel. The Levites were given to help them.
God gave the priests holy portions from the offerings. They received the best of the oil, the best of the vintage, and the first fruits of the grain. The firstborn belonged to God, and firstborn sons were redeemed with money.
Yahweh said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land. I am your portion and your inheritance. The Levites received a tithe from Israel. It was their reward for their service. Then they gave a tenth of that tithe to Yahweh, from its best parts.
