Num 18:24 "For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as an offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said concerning them, 'They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.'"
Num 18:25 ¶ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 18:26 "Moreover, you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.
Num 18:27 'Your offering shall be reckoned to you as the grain from the threshing floor or the full produce from the wine vat.
Num 18:28 'So you shall also present an offering to the LORD from your tithes, which you receive from the sons of Israel; and from it you shall give the LORD'S offering to Aaron the priest.
Num 18:29 'Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the LORD, from all the best of them, the sacred part from them.'
Num 18:30 "You shall say to them, 'When you have offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be reckoned to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor, and as the product of the wine vat.
Num 18:31 'You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your compensation in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
Num 18:32 'You will bear no sin by reason of it when you have offered the best of it. But you shall not profane the sacred gifts of the sons of Israel, or you will die.'"
Num 19:1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Num 19:2 "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, 'Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.
Num 19:3 'You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence.
Num 19:4 'Next Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
Num 19:5 'Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide and its flesh and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned.
Num 19:6 'The priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet material and cast it into the midst of the burning heifer.

Num 19:8 'The one who burns it shall also wash his clothes in water and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
Num 19:9 'Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep it as water to remove impurity; it is purification from sin.
Num 19:10 'The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute to the sons of Israel and to the alien who sojourns among them.
Num 19:11 ¶ 'The one who touches the corpse of any person shall be unclean for seven days.
