But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”

That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.” 25 And the LORD instructed Moses, 26 “Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
