Exegesis

The conditional clause kî-tikḥû {כִּֽי־תִ֠קְחוּ | kî-tikḥû} ‘when you take’ governs the procedural context, followed by the construct chain of bənē-Yisrā’ēl {בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל | bənē-Yisrā’ēl} ‘sons of Israel’ and ’et-hamma‘ăśēr {אֶת־הַֽמַּעֲשֵׂ֗ר | ’et-hamma‘ăśēr} ‘the tithe’ as direct object.

In contextNumbers 18:26

And you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, “When you take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given to you from them as your inheritance, then you shall raise up from it an offering to the LORD, a tithe from the tithe.”
