WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El Señor le dijo a Aarón: «Tú y tus hijos, y tu familia responderán por cualquier profanación del santuario, y por cualquier conducta impropia durante el servicio sacerdotal.
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 Tus hermanos, los de la tribu de Leví, son tus ayudantes. Pero solamente tú y tus hijos pueden desarrollar los ritos sagrados en el santuario mismo. Los levitas tendrán mucho cuidado de no tocar los objetos sagrados del altar, pues podría destruirlos a ellos y a ti.
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 Not in this translation
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 Nadie que no sea miembro de la tribu de Leví puede ayudarte.
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 »Recuerda, sólo los sacerdotes deben realizar los deberes sagrados dentro del santuario y en el altar. Si sigues estas instrucciones, jamás caerá la ira de Dios sobre el pueblo de Israel por violar sus leyes.
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 Repito: tus parientes los levitas son tus ayudantes en las tareas del santuario. Ellos son un don de Dios para ti.
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, personalmente llevarán a cabo el servicio sagrado incluyendo el del altar y todo lo que está dentro de la cortina, porque el sacerdocio es una tarea especial que Dios ha puesto en tus manos. Cualquier persona que trate de realizar estos deberes sin ser de tus descendientes 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 Además el Señor le dio estas órdenes a Aarón: «He cedido a los sacerdotes todos los presentes que se ofrecen al Señor; todas las ofrendas que se presentan al Señor meciéndolas delante del altar te pertenecen a ti y a tus hijos por norma 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 Las ofrendas de grano, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa son tuyas, salvo el puñado que se presenta al Señor quemándolo sobre el altar. Estas son ofrendas muy sagradas.
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 Sólo podrán comerse en el santuario, y solamente comerán de ella los varones.
10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11 »Todas las otras ofrendas que se me ofrecen mecidas delante del altar son para ti y para tu familia, hijos e hijas por igual. Todos los miembros de tu familia pueden comerlas salvo alguno que esté ceremonialmente impuro en el momento de la comida.
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 »También son tuyos los primeros frutos de la cosecha que el pueblo trae para ofrecer al Señor: lo mejor del aceite de oliva, del grano
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 y de toda otra cosecha. Tu familia puede comer todas estas ofrendas, menos el que se encuentre ceremonialmente impuro.
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 haya sido dedicado al Señor será de ustedes, incluyendo a los primogénitos del pueblo de Israel, y el primogénito de sus animales.
14 “Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 Not in this translation
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 Sin embargo, no podrás aceptar a los hijos primogénitos, ni los primogénitos de los animales que no se pueden comer. Pero tendrán que redimirlos pagando sesenta gramos de plata por cada hijo primogénito. Esto tiene que ser pagado cuando cumpla un mes de edad.
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 »Sin embargo, los primogénitos de vacas, ovejas o cabras no podrán ser redimidos porque serán sacrificados al Señor. Su sangre será rociada sobre el altar y se hará arder su grasa sobre el altar como ofrenda encendida de olor muy agradable delante del 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 La carne de estos animales será tuya, incluyendo el pecho y la pierna derecha, que son presentados meciéndolos delante del altar:
18 Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
19 Sí, yo te he dado todas estas “ofrendas mecidas” que los israelitas presentan al Señor. Son para que tú y tu familia las coman. Este es un convenio permanente entre el Señor, tú y 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 »Los sacerdotes no podrán poseer tierras ni tener otros ingresos, porque el tenerme a mí les será suficiente.
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 En cuanto a los de la tribu de Leví, familiares de ustedes, recibirán pago por el servicio prestado mediante los diezmos de toda la tierra de Israel.
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 no podrán entrar en el santuario los israelitas que no sean sacerdotes o levitas. Los que lo hagan serán castigados y morirán.
22 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 Solamente los levitas harán trabajos allí; y si no lo hacen serán considerados culpables y ellos serán responsables de las faltas que cometan. Es ley permanente que los levitas no tengan propiedad en 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 Porque los diezmos que el pueblo ofrezca al Señor mecidos delante del altar pertenecerán a los levitas. Esta es la heredad de ellos, y por lo tanto no tienen necesidad de propiedades».
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 también le dijo a Moisés:
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26 «Dile a los levitas que den al Señor el diezmo de los diezmos que reciban.
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 El Señor lo recibirá como si fuera primicia de grano, vino, productos de la propiedad de ellos.
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 Este diezmo de los diezmos será seleccionado de la mejor parte de los diezmos recibidos. Y será la porción del Señor, que entregarán a 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 Not in this translation
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 »Se considerará como si tú lo hubieras obtenido de tu era y de tus lagares.
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 Aarón, sus hijos y sus familias podrán comerlo en sus hogares o dondequiera que ellos deseen hacerlo, porque es la compensación por su servicio en el santuario.
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 Ustedes los levitas no serán tenidos por culpables de aceptar los diezmos del Señor, si luego dan lo mejor de los diezmos a los sacerdotes. »Pero, cuidado, porque si tratan los presentes sagrados del pueblo de Israel como si fuera algo común y corriente, morirán».
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 …
