Numbers 18:29
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
28 So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
30 Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
31 And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
