WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And YHWH says to Aaron, “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you 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.
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 and also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, and they are joined to you, and serve you, even you and your sons with you, 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.
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 And they have kept your charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, they do not come near to the vessels of the holy place and to the altar, and they do not die, either they or you;
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.
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 and they have been joined to you and have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting for all the service of the tent; and a stranger does not come near to 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.
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 and you have kept the charge of the holy place and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons 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.
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 And I, behold, have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; they are a gift given to you by YHWH 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.
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 and you and your sons with you keep your priesthood for everything of the altar and within the veil, and you have served; I make your priesthood a gift [for] service; and the stranger who is coming near is 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.
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 And YHWH speaks to Aaron: “And I, behold, have given to you the charge of My raised-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—I have given them to you and to your sons for the anointing, by a continuous statute.
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.
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 This is yours from the most holy things, from the fire: all their offering, of all their present, and of all their sin-offering, and of all their guilt-offering, which they give back to Me, is most holy to you and to your 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.
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 you eat it among the most holy things; every male eats it; it is holy to you.
10 En el santuario la comerás; todo varón comerá de ella: cosa santa será para ti.
10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11 And this [is] yours: the raised-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute; every clean one in your house eats it;
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.
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 all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat—their first-[fruits] which they give to YHWH—I have given them to you.
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.
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 The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring to YHWH, are yours; every clean one in your house eats it;
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.
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 every devoted thing in Israel is yours;
14 Todo lo consagrado por voto en Israel será tuyo.
14 “Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 everyone opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to YHWH, among man and among beast, is yours; only, you certainly ransom the firstborn of man, and you ransom the firstling of the unclean beast.
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.
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 And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, you ransom with your valuation [for] five shekels of silver, by the shekel of the holy place; it [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.
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 Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you do not ransom, they [are] holy: you sprinkle their blood on the altar, and you make incense of their fat [as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
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.
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 and their flesh is yours, as the breast of the wave-offering and as the right leg are yours.
18 Y la carne de ellos será tuya: como el pecho de la mecedura y como la espaldilla derecha, será tuya.
18 Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
19 All the raised-offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel lift up to YHWH, I have given to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute—a covenant of salt; it [is] continuous before YHWH to you and to your seed with you.”
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.
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 And YHWH says to Aaron, “You do not inherit in their land, and you do not have a portion in their midst: I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons 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.
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 and to the sons of Levi, behold, have given all the tenth in Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they are serving—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.
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 And the sons of Israel no longer come near to the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die,
22 Y no llegarán más los hijos de Israel al tabernáculo del testimonio, porque no lleven pecado, por el cual mueran.
22 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 and the Levites have done the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they bear their iniquity; [it is] a continuous statute throughout your generations that they have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;
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.
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 but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to YHWH, a raised-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, They have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.”
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.
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 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
25 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “And you speak to the Levites, and you have said to them: When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel which I have given to you from them for your inheritance, then you have lifted up the raised-offering of YHWH from it, 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.
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 and your raised-offering has been reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as the fullness from the wine-vat;
27 Y se os contará vuestra ofrenda como grano de la era, y como acopio 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 so you lift up—you also—the raised-offering of YHWH from all your tithes which you receive from the sons of Israel; and you have given the raised-offering of YHWH from it 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.
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 out of all your gifts you lift up every raised-offering of YHWH, out of all its fat—its hallowed part—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.
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 And you have said to them: In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it has been reckoned to the Levites as increase of a threshing-floor and as increase of a wine-vat;
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.
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 and you have eaten it in every place, you and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange 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.
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 and you bear no sin for it in your lifting up its fat out of it, but you do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel, and you do not die.”
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.
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.’”

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 …
