Numbers 18-19

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage. The latter part of chapter 18 deals with the tithe which is the inheritence of the Levites. From the tithes that they received the Levites were to give a tithe to the priests. The tithes that the Levites received was to be the firstfruits from the people's harvest and herds. So how were the Levites to determine their tithes? Verse 29 makes it clear; the very best of what they received was to be past on. It was a choice to give that which was supreme back into the hands of the people whom the supreme creator had chosen to bring near to him. All Christians are priests in the order of Melchizedek, serving Jesus who is our high priest (Hebrews 7). We are to give the very best that God has put under our management wherever God prompts us.
