Week 53, Day 3: The Portions
Today’s Reading: Numbers 18:1-32
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
I appologize for missing the post yesterday. I will be posting twice today to keep up with the scheduled reading.
What I wanted to point to today was the way in which this text mentions that the Levites received the tithe they were still expected to give an offering from that to the Lord. So they gave a tithe of all that they received. It was a tithe of the tithe. They were to treat it as if it was the grain that came straight from the threshing floor or from the wine vat. Like they had harvested it or produced the wine themselves The tithe was given to the Levites in return for their service in the tent and as their inheritance in Israel. I just find it interesting that they were still expected to each one give/ make offerings to God even though the source of these offerings were from the requirements of Israel to give the tithe.
Question: If the tithe was given to the Levites for their service. What was given to the priests for their service?
