Nu 18:1-7.
THE CHARGE OF THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES.
1. the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary--Security is here given to the people from the fears expressed
(Nu 17:12),
by the responsibility of attending to all sacred things being devolved upon the priesthood, together with the penalties incurred through neglect; and thus the solemn responsibilities annexed to their high dignity, of having to answer not only for their own sins, but also for the sins of the people, were calculated in a great measure to remove all feeling of envy at the elevation of Aaron's family, when the honor was weighed in the balance with its burdens and dangers.

2-7. 你的亲族利未支派的人——祭司与利未人各自当尽的圣职部门，在此分别指派。祭司受托照管圣所和祭坛，而利未人则照管帐幕的一切其余事务。利未人要作为仆役伺候祭司——作为“礼物”赐给他们，以协助帐幕的事奉——而祭司那崇高尊荣的职分则是“恩赐的事奉”。“外人”，即既非祭司也非利未人、却擅闯任何圣职部门的人，当被处死。
英語原文
2-7. thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi--The departments of the sacred office, to be filled respectively by the priests and Levites, are here assigned to each. To the priests was committed the charge of the sanctuary and the altar, while the Levites were to take care of everything else about the tabernacle. The Levites were to attend the priests as servants--bestowed on them as "gifts" to aid in the service of the tabernacle--while the high and dignified office of the priesthood was a "service of gift." "A stranger," that is, one, neither a priest nor a Levite, who should intrude into any departments of the sacred office, should incur the penalty of death.

祭司的 分。
8-13. 耶和华对亚伦说：我已将举祭的奉给赐给你——本段重述了若干特别拨归祭司供养的额外所得。它们是许愿祭和甘心祭的一部分，包括粮食和饼、酒和油，以及初熟的土产——后者构成一项庞大而有价值的进项。

THE PRIESTS' PORTION.
8-13. the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave offerings--A recapitulation is made in this passage of certain perquisites specially appropriated to the maintenance of the priests. They were parts of the votive and freewill offerings, including both meat and bread, wine and oil, and the first-fruits, which formed a large and valuable item.

14. 以色列中一切永献的都必归给你——只要它适合作为食物或经使用可耗尽之物；因那些作为战利品而献上的金银器皿，并非归给祭司，而是为圣所的用途和装饰。
英語原文
14. Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine--provided it was adapted for food or consumable by use; for the gold and silver vessels that were dedicated as the spoils of victory were not given to the priests, but for the use and adornment of the sacred edifice.

19. 这是盐约——即永久的条例。这比喻性的说法，显然是建立在盐的防腐性质上——盐能防止肉类腐坏；因此它成了不可侵犯与永恒的象征。这是东方民族中常见的说法，他们认为吃盐是忠信的保证，将人绑定在友谊的约中。因此，祭司在事奉的条件下所享用的坛中之物——盐是其必不可少的配料——之分领，自然被称为“盐约”
(Le 2:13)。
英語原文
19. it is a covenant of salt--that is, a perpetual ordinance. This figurative form of expression was evidently founded on the conservative property of salt, which keeps meat from corruption; and hence it became an emblem of inviolability and permanence. It is a common phrase among Oriental people, who consider the eating of salt a pledge of fidelity, binding them in a covenant of friendship. Hence the partaking of the altar meats, which were appropriated to the priests on condition of their services and of which salt formed a necessary accompaniment, was naturally called "a covenant of salt"
(Le 2:13).

Nu 18:21-32.
利未人的 分。
21, 22. 我已将以色列中一切的十分之一赐给利未的子孙为产业，因他们所办的事——祭司和利未人都不可占有任何地业的分，而要完全倚靠那从自己的份中丰足供应他们的神；这律法服事于许多重要的目的——例如，他们既免除了世俗事务的忧虑和劳碌，便可全然献身于事奉他；百姓与利未人之间可以建立起彼此相爱和相连的纽带，因利未人为百姓办理宗教之事，其养生之需也由百姓供给；再者，他们既较易分散在各支派之中，便能在教导和指引百姓上更有用处。
英語原文
Nu 18:21-32.
THE LEVITES' PORTION.
21, 22. I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve--Neither the priests nor the Levites were to possess any allotments of land but to depend entirely upon Him who liberally provided for them out of His own portion; and this law was subservient to many important purposes--such as that, being exempted from the cares and labors of worldly business, they might be exclusively devoted to His service; that a bond of mutual love and attachment might be formed between the people and the Levites, who, as performing religious services for the people, derived their subsistence from them; and further, that being the more easily dispersed among the different tribes, they might be more useful in instructing and directing the people.

23. 只是利未人要办理会幕的事，担当罪孽——他们要对所派之职务的正当履行负责，因此要承担因看守圣物时的疏忽或懈怠而应受的刑罚。
英語原文
23. But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: they shall bear their iniquity--They were to be responsible for the right discharge of those duties that were assigned to them, and consequently to bear the penalty that was due to negligence or carelessness in the guardianship of the holy things.

26. 利未人……献上……十分之一——他们要从自己所得的之中，向祭司缴纳十分之一，正如百姓向他们缴纳一样。他们要把最好的十分之一献给祭司，此后便可自由使用其余的，与以色列人使用自己禾场和酒榨所出的产物一样自由。
英語原文
26. the Levites . . . offer . . . a tenth of the tithe--Out of their own they were to pay tithes to the priests equally as the people gave to them. The best of their tithes was to be assigned to the priests, and afterwards they enjoyed the same liberty to make use of the remainder that other Israelites had of the produce of their threshing-floors and wine-presses.

*32. 你们在其中不可犯罪，*等等——若疏忽献上最好的，便在使用这些未分别为圣的食物上招致罪。圣物也会因人将当献给神和祭司的留下给自己而被玷污。
英語原文
32. ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, &c.--Neglect in having the best entailed sin in the use of such unhallowed food. And the holy things would be polluted by the reservation to themselves of what should be offered to God and the priests.
Nu 18:1-7.
祭司 与利未人的 职责。
1. 耶和华对亚伦说：你和你的儿子，并你父家与你一同担当圣所的罪孽——此处借着将一切圣事的责任连同疏忽当受的刑罚一并归于祭司，使百姓从所表达的恐惧中
(Nu 17:12)
得了保障。如此，与其崇高尊荣相联的庄严责任——不仅要为自己的罪负责，还要为百姓的罪负责——在很大程度上消除了人对亚伦家族高升的一切嫉妒之心，因为当这尊荣与其重担与危险一同放在天平上衡量时。
