The Key Word — שָׂכָ֥ר, sa.Khargenerated
The Hebrew word שָׂכָר (sakar) refers to wages or compensation for work performed. It encompasses various forms of payment, including salaries and rewards, and is derived from a root meaning 'to hire.' In this verse, it indicates the compensation the Levites receive for their service at the Tent of Meeting.
This term underscores the concept of fair remuneration for labor, emphasizing that the Levites are entitled to eat from the offerings as a rightful reward for their ministry. It reflects the broader biblical principle of honoring those who serve in spiritual capacities.
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 verse contains one main verb, וַאֲכַלְתֶּם, and you will eat, which governs the entire clause. Several noun phrases and prepositional phrases elaborate on what is eaten, where it can be consumed, and the nature of the compensation.
The structure emphasizes the Levites' entitlement to the offerings, with the verb positioned at the beginning to highlight the action of eating, followed by the object and details about the compensation for their service.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb וַאֲכַלְתֶּם is rendered as ἔδεσθε (edesesthe), which means 'you will eat.' This choice maintains the directness of the command and the context of consumption.
The term used in the LXX for שָׂכָ֥ר is μισθὸς (misthos), which also means wages or payment, reinforcing the concept of compensation for labor.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Numbers 18:31 tells the Levites that they and their families can eat the leftovers of the offerings anywhere they want. This is their payment for the work they do at the Tent of Meeting, which is a special place where they serve God.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that the Levites are allowed to consume the remaining portions of the offerings, which serves as their compensation for their service in the sacred space.
Compensation ensures that those who serve in spiritual roles are provided for, recognizing their contributions to the community and the worship of God.
The Tent of Meeting is a sacred place where God meets with His people, and the Levites' service there is crucial for maintaining the worship and rituals of the Israelite community.
This verse shows God's provision for the Levites by ensuring they have the means to sustain themselves and their families through their service.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How can I recognize and honor those who serve in spiritual roles in my community?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of fair compensation for work?
- In what ways can I support those who dedicate their lives to ministry?

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint in most of its wording, with only slight variations in phrasing. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs by using the word for 'house' and 'strong drink' instead of 'wages,' indicating a different interpretation of the compensation.

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.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
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…
