Read Numbers 18 in context

Scripture Focus

25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

26Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

27And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

28Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

Numbers 18:25-28

Biblical Context

God instructs Moses to tell the Levites to take the tithes Israel gives as their inheritance and to offer a heave offering to the LORD, a tenth of the tithe, to be reckoned as the corn of the threshing floor and the fullness of the winepress, and to give the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of these verses as a map of the inner economy. The Levites stand for the disciplined faculties of your mind, serving the awareness you call I AM. The tithes you gather from life are your thoughts, memories, and feelings; when you 'heave' an offering to the LORD, you are returning a measured portion to your own Source—the I AM—so that the act becomes a rhythm of permission and gratitude. The instruction that this tenth is reckoned like corn and wine invites you to see your harvest as already prepared by imagination; you give back to God, yet you retain the sense of ownership as a priestly mediator within you. By offering the LORD's heave offering to Aaron, the priest, you honor your higher self as the channel through which God is made manifest. The result is a living alignment: the more you attentively return to Source, the more your inner life matches the abundance your invitation imagines.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit in quiet and assume you are the steward of a sacred tithe. Imagine taking a tenth of your inner thoughts and feelings and presenting them as a heave offering to the Lord, then feel the act returning as abundance in your life.
