1 And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers’ house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
1 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Aarón: Tú y tus hijos, y la casa de tu padre contigo, llevaréis el pecado del santuario: y tú y tus hijos contigo llevaréis el pecado de vuestro sacerdocio.
2 And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.
2 Y á tus hermanos también, la tribu de Leví, la tribu de tu padre, hazlos llegar á ti, y júntense contigo, y servirte han; y tú y tus hijos contigo [serviréis] delante del tabernáculo del testimonio.
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.
3 Y guardarán lo que tú ordenares, y el cargo de todo el tabernáculo: mas no llegarán á los vasos santos ni al altar, porque no mueran ellos y vosotros.
4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
4 Se juntarán, pues, contigo, y tendrán el cargo del tabernáculo del testimonio en todo el servicio del tabernáculo; ningún extraño se ha de llegar á vosotros.
5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel.
5 Y tendréis la guarda del santuario, y la guarda del altar, para que no sea más la ira sobre los hijos de Israel.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
6 Porque he aquí yo he tomado á vuestros hermanos los Levitas de entre los hijos de Israel, dados á vosotros en don de Jehová, para que sirvan en el ministerio del tabernáculo del testimonio.
7 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
7 Mas tú y tus hijos contigo guardaréis vuestro sacerdocio en todo negocio del altar, y del velo adentro, y ministraréis. Yo os he dado en don el servicio de vuestro sacerdocio; y el extraño que se llegare, morirá.
8 And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever.
8 Dijo más Jehová á Aarón: He aquí yo te he dado también la guarda de mis ofrendas: todas las cosas consagradas de los hijos de Israel te he dado por razón de la unción, y á tus hijos, por estatuto perpetuo.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
9 Esto será tuyo de la ofrenda de las cosas santas [reservadas] del fuego: toda ofrenda de ellos, todo presente suyo, y toda expiación por el pecado de ellos, y toda expiación por la culpa de ellos, que me han de presentar, será cosa muy santa para ti y para tus hijos.
10 As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee.
10 En el santuario la comerás; todo varón comerá de ella: cosa santa será para ti.
11 And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
11 Esto también será tuyo: la ofrenda elevada de sus dones, y todas las ofrendas agitadas de los hijos de Israel, he dado á ti, y á tus hijos y á tus hijas contigo, por estatuto perpetuo: todo limpio en tu casa comerá de ellas.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them.
12 De aceite, y de mosto, y de trigo, todo lo más escogido, las primicias de ello, que presentarán á Jehová, á ti las he dado.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
13 Las primicias de todas las cosas de la tierra de ellos, las cuales traerán á Jehová, serán tuyas: todo limpio en tu casa comerá de ellas.
14 Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
14 Todo lo consagrado por voto en Israel será tuyo.
15 Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
15 Todo lo que abriere matriz en toda carne que ofrecerán á Jehová, así de hombres como de animales, será tuyo: mas has de hacer redimir el primogénito del hombre: también harás redimir el primogénito de animal inmundo.
16 And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
16 Y de un mes harás efectuar el rescate de ellos, conforme á tu estimación, por precio de cinco siclos, al siclo del santuario, [que] es de veinte óbolos.
17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
17 Mas el primogénito de vaca, y el primogénito de oveja, y el primogénito de cabra, no redimirás; santificados son: la sangre de ellos rociarás sobre el altar, y quemarás la grosura de ellos, ofrenda encendida en olor suave á Jehová.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
18 Y la carne de ellos será tuya: como el pecho de la mecedura y como la espaldilla derecha, será tuya.
19 All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
19 Todas las ofrendas elevadas de las cosas santas, que los hijos de Israel ofrecieren á Jehová, helas dado para ti, y para tus hijos y para tus hijas contigo, por estatuto perpetuo: pacto de sal perpetuo es delante de Jehová para ti y para tu simiente contigo.
20 And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
20 Y Jehová dijo á Aarón: De la tierra de ellos no tendrás heredad, ni entre ellos tendrás parte: Yo soy tu parte y tu heredad en medio de los hijos de Israel.
21 And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.
21 Y he aquí yo he dado á los hijos de Leví todos los diezmos en Israel por heredad, por su ministerio, por cuanto ellos sirven en el ministerio del tabernáculo del testimonio.
22 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
22 Y no llegarán más los hijos de Israel al tabernáculo del testimonio, porque no lleven pecado, por el cual mueran.
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
23 Mas los Levitas harán el servicio del tabernáculo del testimonio, y ellos llevarán su iniquidad: estatuto perpetuo por vuestras edades; y no poseerán heredad entre los hijos de Israel.
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
24 Porque á los Levitas he dado por heredad los diezmos de los hijos de Israel, que ofrecerán á Jehová en ofrenda: por lo cual les he dicho: Entre los hijos de Israel no poseerán heredad.
25 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
26 Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
26 Así hablarás á los Levitas, y les dirás: Cuando tomareis de los hijos de Israel los diezmos que os he dado de ellos por vuestra heredad, vosotros presentaréis de ellos en ofrenda mecida á Jehová el diezmo de los diezmos.
27 And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
27 Y se os contará vuestra ofrenda como grano de la era, y como acopio del lagar.
28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah’s heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
28 Así ofreceréis también vosotros ofrenda á Jehová de todos vuestros diezmos que hubiereis recibido de los hijos de Israel; y daréis de ellos la ofrenda de Jehová á Aarón el sacerdote.
29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
29 De todos vuestros dones ofreceréis toda ofrenda á Jehová; de todo lo mejor de ellos [ofreceréis] la porción que ha de ser consagrada.
30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the winepress.
30 Y les dirás: Cuando ofreciereis lo mejor de ellos, será contado á los Levitas por fruto de la era, y como fruto del lagar.
31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
31 Y lo comeréis en cualquier lugar, vosotros y vuestra familia: pues es vuestra remuneración por vuestro ministerio en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
32 Y cuando vosotros hubiereis ofrecido de ello lo mejor suyo, no llevaréis por ello pecado: y no habéis de contaminar las cosas santas de los hijos de Israel, y no moriréis.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Of whom again Moses says, "They shall have no inheritance, for the Lord Himself is their inheritance." And again, "The priests the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a …
