It is a covenant of salt for ever.

It is an incorruptible and everlasting covenant.

Numbers 18:24

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heaveoffering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit.

The tithes of the children of Israel, which they set apart and consecrate to the Lord, by lifting them up in way of oblation to God, I have given to the tribe of Levi, as a constant and perpetual inheritance, to claim and enjoy for ever.

Numbers 18:27

And this your heaveoffering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

And this tenth part, which you shall offer out of your tithe, shall be no less imputed to you or accepted from you, than if it were raised out of your own cornfloor, or your own winepress.
