Numbers 18:32

Verse 32

32. Ye shall bear no sin In the free use of the tithed tithe the Levites would violate no ceremonial law nor expose themselves to penalty.

Neither shall ye pollute In this prohibition both priests and Levites are addressed. The holy things are to be exempt from profanation.

Yet even in the Pentateuch, מות and θανατος , death, sometimes implies the perdition and misery of that exclusion from the presence and favour of God which in the New Testament is called the second death. See Deuteronomy 30:19.
