耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

21. And behold, I have given the sons of Levi all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22. Neither must the children of Israel come near the tabernacle of the congregation from this time forward, lest they bear sin and die.

23. But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity, it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24. But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit. Therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’ ”

25. And the LORD spoke to Moses saying,

26. “And you shall speak to the Levites, and you shall say to them, ‘When you take tithes from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth of the tithe.

27. And your heave offering shall be credited to you as grain of the threshing floor and as the fullness of the winepress.

28. So you also shall offer a heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes which you receive from the children of Israel. And you shall give from these the LORD’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29. Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave offering of the LORD of all the best of them, the holy part out of it.’

30. And you shall say to them, ‘When you have lifted up the best of it, then it shall be credited to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31. And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households. For it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32. And you shall bear no sin because of it when you have offered up the best of it. Neither shall you profane the holy things of the children of Israel, lest you die.’ ”

 (A Faithful Version)

21. 大家要了解的，是以色列人在獻祭當中，用十分之一，作為留給利未的子孫，以維護在會幕作獻祭事宜的報酬。

22. 從今以後，以色列人也不可隨意靠近這會幕，否則可招至嚴懲。

23. 利未當中有承擔起會幕職事者，是擔承民眾的代贖，這是一份世代永遠的責任，他們不享有專有的財產。

24. 以色列人獻與耶和華的祭物上，當中的十分之一，是屬利未人所有，利未人沒有私自的財產。

25. 耶和華又曉諭摩西：

26. 向利未支派的民眾說：從以色列人獻祭與耶和華的，當中的十分之一，拿其中的十分之一數，視為舉祭。

27. 這舉祭之物就如禾場來的殼物，和酒池中的酒，全數都歸利未子孫擁有。

28. 從以色列民眾向耶和華獻上的祭物，當中的十分之一的來源，是從舉祭而來，屬利未子孫享用，取當中的十分之一獻給祭司亞倫。

29. 以色列人再在全部的祭物當中，選出最好的，分別為聖獻與耶和華。

30. 摩西手中拿起收獲，對眾民說：這是從禾場的出產和酒榨讓出的，是隨年日增長。

31. 利未支派的子孫，可以在任何地方享用這舉祭，是回應在會幕中服事的報酬。

32. 利未的子孫若獻上他最好的，就不會犯事；也不會褻瀆。既分別為聖，就免除了被嚴懲。

A heave offering (Hebrew: terumah) is a portion of a sacrifice or agricultural produce ceremonially lifted or raised to dedicate it to God and subsequently set aside for the use of the priests. Derived from the verb meaning “to lift,” this offering served as a vital provision for the Levitical priesthood, who received no territorial inheritance and relied on these gifts for their sustenance.

The ritual typically involved an up-and-down motion performed by the priest, distinguishing it from the wave offering’s horizontal movement. Common forms included the right shoulder of peace offerings and a portion of firstfruits or dough, which were given to the priests in a state of ritual purity. This practice symbolized the worshiper’s acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and the communal responsibility to support those dedicated to religious service

這祭司之職，在當時有期獨特的作用，一是維持團體的安定，二是分解人與人之間的爭執，都在信仰的可能範圍內解決。

更為重要的是一群分為別聖的人，去處理一件分別為聖的事：把俗務用分別乞為聖去化解。在出埃及這事上，顯然是很突出的安排。

追特出精神之處：不在條例，在奉獻。

今日有沒有這樣的全職？顯然是宗教本身就是以此為首樣，經年日發展到今日的多樣性。而祭司的生活來源，因為泡通貨幣的出現，就改變不少。再遲一點也會用比特幣支付。這是個有趣的課題，大家研究下。

當時摩西是有一份心意，是將人透過禮儀而不是條例，去約束和改善被破壞的人與人之間的關係。當時似乎是有一定效用。今日教會有沒有在會規當中，有這樣的精神面貌存在於治理教會的條文中，看來是沒有。

大家會否能讓這樣信仰治理的精神，展示在治理教會的條文中？
