Numbers 18:32
Numbers 18:32 in Multiple Translations
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.
You will not be considered to have sinned if you have presented the best part of it. But if you treat the sacred offerings of the Israelites with disrespect you will die.’”
And ye shall beare no sinne by the reason of it, when ye haue offred the fatte of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
and ye bear no sin for it, in your lifting up its fat out of it, and the holy things of the sons of Israel ye do not pollute, and ye die not.'
You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best. You shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.’”
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.
If you give to the priests the best portions of what you receive, you will not be punished by me for accepting one tenth of the gifts that the people bring to me. But you must consider those gifts to be sacred/holy. If you sin by eating those things in ways that are contrary to these regulations that I have given to you, you will be executed.’ ”

Context — Offerings for Priests and Levites
30Therefore 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.
31And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
32Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”

Numbers 18:32 Summary
This verse is saying that when we give our best to God, we don't have to feel guilty about what's left over. But it's very important that we treat the things that belong to God with respect and care, because He is holy and deserves our reverence, as seen in Leviticus 11:44-45. If we don't, we could face serious consequences, just like the Israelites did when they disobeyed God's commands, as seen in Numbers 3:10 and Deuteronomy 8:19-20. By giving our best to God and being faithful stewards of what He has given us, we can live a life that is pleasing to Him and avoid the consequences of disobedience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'present the best part' of an offering?
Presenting the best part of an offering means to give the most valuable or choicest portion to God, as seen in Numbers 18:32, and this act of giving is what makes the rest of the offering acceptable for the Levites to eat, as stated in Numbers 18:30-31 and supported by Malachi 1:6-14.
Why is it important not to defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites?
Defiling the sacred offerings would be a direct disobedience to God's commands, as stated in Numbers 18:32, and would result in severe consequences, including death, as seen in Leviticus 10:1-3 and Numbers 3:10.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship?
This verse emphasizes the importance of faithful stewardship, as the Levites were entrusted with the sacred offerings and were required to handle them in a way that was pleasing to God, as seen in Numbers 18:32 and 1 Corinthians 4:2.
What is the significance of the warning 'or else you will die'?
The warning 'or else you will die' in Numbers 18:32 emphasizes the seriousness of disobedience to God's commands, as also seen in Deuteronomy 8:19-20 and Ezekiel 18:4, and serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God's will.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can 'present the best part' of my life to God, just as the Israelites were instructed to present the best part of their offerings?
- How can I ensure that I am handling the resources and blessings that God has given me in a way that is pleasing to Him?
- What are some areas of my life where I may be 'defiling the sacred offerings' of God, and how can I repent and turn back to Him?
- In what ways can I apply the principle of faithful stewardship to my daily life, and what are the consequences of being unfaithful with the resources that God has entrusted to me?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 18:32

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 18:32
The best of it; implying, that if they neglected this duty, they sinned in the use of such unhallowed food. Neither shall ye pollute the holy things, as you will do, if you abuse their holy offerings, by reserving that entirely to yourselves which they offer to God to be disposed as he hath appointed, to wit, part to you, and part to the priests.
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 18:32

Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 18:32
