To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Should it be asked in what proportion these 20 yVo ^olls were divided between the priests and Levites, it may be answered that the priests received to their sole use, the 1"66, or 1| boll nearly, first deducted as the first-fruits of the threshing-floor ; and they were entitled to a tenth of the first tithe that was due to the Levites ; which, being in the present case 9' 83 bolls, left "98, or nearly one boll to the priests. Their whole proportion, therefore, of the 20'34 bolls was 2*64, or ab...ove 2J bolls, leaving to the Levites n"70, or 171 bolls nearly. Thus, the priests had about an eighth part, and the Levites seven-eighths. Yet this cannot be stated as exact ; for when the second tithes were brought to Jerusalem, they were eaten not by the priests and Levites solely, but by the husbandman's family, tlie priests, and the Levites conjointly. Con- sequently, the priests would come in for their share, in proportion only to their numbers, when compared with the Levites who were on duty, and the family of the husbandman.
