민수기 18:32의 Tosefta
וְלֹֽא־תִשְׂא֤וּ עָלָיו֙ חֵ֔טְא בַּהֲרִֽימְכֶ֥ם אֶת־חֶלְבּ֖וֹ מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְאֶת־קָדְשֵׁ֧י בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל לֹ֥א תְחַלְּל֖וּ וְלֹ֥א תָמֽוּתוּ׃ (פ)
너희가 그 중 아름다운 것을 받들어 드린즉 이로 인하여 죄를 지지 아니할 것이라 너희는 이스라엘 자손의 성물을 더럽히지 말라 그리하면 죽지 아니하리라
Tosefta Demai
[With respect to] Kohanim and Levites who were assisting between threshing floors, [the landowners should] not give them Terumah and tithes [as part of] their salary, and if they gave them, behold, they are [deemed] unconsecrated [produce], as it is said (Num. 18:32), "and you shall not profane the sacred donations of the Children of Israel," [and treated as though] they were already unconsecrated. And it is said (Mal. 2:8), "You corrupted the covenant of the Levites, said the Lord of Hosts." More than this, they (i.e., the Sages) said, "Their Terumah is not Terumah and their tithes are not tithes," and not only that, but the Sages [also] sought to punish them such that they would need to separate Terumah from their own produce. And about them it is written, saying (Micah 3:11, JPS tr.), "Her rulers judge for gifts, Her priests give rulings for a fee, [And her prophets divine for pay]," and therefore God brought on them three punishments corresponding to their three sins that they committed, as it is said (Micah 3:12, JPS tr.), "Assuredly, because of you, Zion shall be plowed as a field, [And Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, And the Temple Mount a shrine in the woods]."
