And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land where you are to live, which I am giving you,

Therefore you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered the best from it, then the rest shall be credited to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor, and as the product of the wine vat.
