1 El Señor dijo a Aarón: «Tú, tus hijos y la casa de tu padre serán responsables de cualquier culpa relacionada con el santuario. Tú y tus hijos serán responsables de cualquier culpa relacionada con su sacerdocio.
1 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your fathers’ house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
2 Haz que tus hermanos de la tribu de Leví, la tribu de tu padre, se acerquen y se unan a ustedes para ayudarlos. Pero tú y tus hijos servirán delante de la Tienda del testimonio.
2 Bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you; but you and your sons with you shall be before the Tent of the Testimony.
3 Los levitas cumplirán sus deberes para contigo y para toda la Tienda, pero no se acercarán a los utensilios del santuario ni al altar. De lo contrario, tanto ellos como ustedes morirán.
3 They shall keep your commands and the duty of the whole Tent; only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they nor you.
4 Ellos se unirán a ti y estarán a cargo del trabajo de la Tienda de reunión, haciendo todo el servicio necesario. Ninguna persona no autorizada se acercará a ustedes.
4 They shall be joined to you and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent. A stranger shall not come near to you.
5 Ustedes estarán a cargo del santuario y del altar, para que mi ira no vuelva a caer sobre los israelitas.
5 “You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary and the duty of the altar, that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.
6 Yo mismo he escogido a sus hermanos los levitas de entre los israelitas. Se los he dado como un regalo dedicado al Señor para hacer el trabajo de la Tienda de reunión.
6 Behold, I myself have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel. They are a gift to you, dedicated to Yahweh, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Pero tú y tus hijos serán responsables de su sacerdocio en todo lo relacionado con el altar y con lo que está detrás de la cortina. Solo ustedes podrán hacer ese servicio. Les doy el sacerdocio como un regalo. Cualquier persona no autorizada que se acerque será condenada a muerte».
7 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil. You shall serve. I give you the service of the priesthood as a gift. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
8 El Señor dijo también a Aarón: «Yo te pongo a cargo de las ofrendas que los israelitas me presentan. Todas las cosas santas que me ofrecen las doy a ti y a tus hijos como la parte que les corresponde. Esta será una ley permanente.
8 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel. I have given them to you by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
9 De las cosas santísimas que no se queman en el fuego, te pertenecerá la parte de todas las ofrendas que me presenten: toda ofrenda de harina, toda ofrenda por el pecado y toda ofrenda por la culpa. Estas cosas serán santísimas para ti y para tus hijos.
9 This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall give to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
10 Las comerán en un lugar santísimo. Todo varón podrá comerlas. Deberán considerarlas santas.
10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11 También te pertenecerán las ofrendas elevadas y las ofrendas mecidas de los israelitas. Te las doy a ti, a tus hijos y a tus hijas como una parte permanente. Todo miembro de tu familia que esté puro podrá comerlas.
11 “This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
12 Te doy lo mejor del aceite, del vino nuevo y del grano que los israelitas presentan al Señor como primeros frutos.
12 “I have given to you all the best of the oil, all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh.
13 Los primeros frutos de todo lo que produzca su tierra y que lleven al Señor serán tuyos. Todo miembro de tu familia que esté puro podrá comerlos.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
14 Todo lo que en Israel sea dedicado por completo al Señor será tuyo.
14 “Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 Todo primogénito que sea presentado al Señor, sea de personas o de animales, será tuyo. Pero deberás rescatar al primogénito de las personas y también al primogénito de los animales impuros.
15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, shall be yours. Nevertheless, you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.
16 Deberán ser rescatados cuando tengan un mes de edad. El precio del rescate será de cinco siclos de plata, según el peso oficial del santuario, de veinte geras por siclo.
16 You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which weighs twenty gerahs.
17 Pero no rescatarás al primogénito de una vaca, una oveja o una cabra. Son santos. Rociarás su sangre sobre el altar y quemarás su grasa como ofrenda presentada por fuego, de aroma agradable al Señor.
17 “But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
18 Su carne será tuya, como también son tuyos el pecho de la ofrenda mecida y la pierna derecha.
18 Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
19 Todas las ofrendas elevadas de las cosas santas que los israelitas presentan al Señor las doy a ti, a tus hijos y a tus hijas como una parte permanente. Este es un pacto permanente, confirmado con sal delante del Señor, para ti y para tus descendientes».
19 All the wave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, I have given you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your offspring with you.”
20 El Señor dijo a Aarón: «No tendrás herencia de tierra entre los israelitas ni recibirás una parte de su territorio. Yo soy tu parte y tu herencia entre los israelitas.
20 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
21 A los levitas les he dado como herencia todos los diezmos de Israel, como pago por el trabajo que hacen en la Tienda de reunión.
21 “To 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.
22 De ahora en adelante, los demás israelitas no deberán acercarse a la Tienda de reunión, porque cargarían con su pecado y morirían.
22 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 Los levitas harán el trabajo de la Tienda de reunión y serán responsables de cualquier culpa relacionada con ese trabajo. Esta será una ley permanente para todas sus generaciones. Los levitas no tendrán herencia de tierra entre los israelitas,
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. Among the children of Israel, they shall have no inheritance.
24 porque les he dado como herencia los diezmos que los israelitas presentan al Señor como ofrenda elevada. Por eso he dicho de ellos: “No tendrán herencia de tierra entre los israelitas”».
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’”
25 El Señor dijo a Moisés:
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26 «Habla a los levitas y diles: Cuando reciban de los israelitas los diezmos que les he dado como herencia, deberán presentar al Señor una décima parte de esos diezmos como ofrenda elevada.
26 “Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, ‘When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.
27 Esa ofrenda será considerada como si fuera el grano de la era o el vino del lagar.
27 Your wave offering shall be credited to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the wine press.
28 Así también ustedes presentarán al Señor una ofrenda elevada de todos los diezmos que reciban de los israelitas. De ellos darán la ofrenda del Señor al sacerdote Aarón.
28 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh’s wave offering to Aaron the priest.
29 De todo lo que reciban, presentarán como ofrenda al Señor la mejor parte, la parte santa.
29 Out of all your gifts, you shall offer every wave offering to Yahweh, of all its best parts, even the holy part of it.’
30 Diles también: Cuando hayan presentado la mejor parte, el resto será para los levitas como el producto de la era y del lagar.
30 “Therefore you shall tell them, ‘When you heave its best from it, then it shall be credited to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine press.
31 Ustedes y sus familias podrán comerlo en cualquier lugar, porque es su pago por el trabajo que hacen en la Tienda de reunión.
31 You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
32 No serán culpables por comerlo después de haber presentado la mejor parte. No deberán profanar las cosas santas de los israelitas, para que no mueran».
32 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best. You shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.’”

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 …
