And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
“Instruct the Levites, and also declare to them: When you will receive, from the sons of Israel, the tithes, which I have given to you, offer their first-fruits to the Lord, that is, the tenth part of a tenth,
so that it may be accounted to you as an oblation of the first-fruits, as much from the threshing floors as from the oil and wine presses.

Everything which you shall offer from the tithes, and which you shall separate as gifts to the Lord, shall be the finest and most select.
