Context — Instructions on Offeringsgenerated
Numbers 18:29 is part of God's directives regarding the offerings that the Israelites were to present. This instruction emphasizes the necessity of giving the best and holiest parts of their gifts to the LORD. It reflects the broader theme of holiness and dedication in worship, which is echoed in other parts of the Torah, such as in Leviticus 22:21.
Cross References
The Key Word — תָּרִ֕ימוּ, ta.Ri.mugenerated
The verb רוּם (ruwm) means 'to lift up' or 'to exalt.' It indicates not just the action of offering but also the attitude of reverence and honor in presenting gifts to God. This verb is in the Hiphil stem, suggesting a causative action — you are causing the offering to be lifted up.
In this context, it conveys the idea that the offerings are to be elevated in status, signifying their importance in the worship of God. The command to 'offer up' indicates a deliberate act of giving that is meant to honor the divine.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תָּרִ֕ימוּ governs the verse, indicating the action of offering. The structure includes several noun phrases that specify what is to be offered, including the contributions and the best parts of the gifts.
Hebrew syntax often emphasizes the verb at the beginning, which here stresses the action of offering as the focal point of the instruction. The additional phrases clarify the nature and quality of the offerings, underscoring their significance in worship.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the verb תָּרִ֕ימוּ is rendered as ἀφελεῖτε (aphelete), which means 'you shall take away.' This choice suggests a different nuance, focusing on the act of taking the offerings from the people rather than the act of lifting them up in exaltation.
This translation indicates a shift in emphasis from the act of presenting to the act of receiving, which may reflect the translators' understanding of the offerings as something that is taken by God from the people.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Numbers 18:29 instructs the Israelites to present their best offerings to the LORD. This means they should give the finest gifts, emphasizing quality in their worship and dedication to God.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Samaritan Pentateuch, which agrees word for word with the Hebrew text here. The Septuagint matches 9 of the 12 words, but its word order and structure differ significantly from the Hebrew. The Dead Sea Scrolls show partial restoration, indicating some loss but maintaining the core message.
מִכֹּל֙ מַתְּנֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם תָּרִ֕ימוּ אֵ֖ת כָּל־ תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה מִכָּל־ חֶלְבּ֔וֹ אֶֽת־ מִקְדְּשׁ֖וֹ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
