Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Reckoned unto you - Or, by you. The Levites were, of their tithes, to pay tithe to the priests, just as other Israelites paid tithe to the Levites.

And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the (o) corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
(o) As acceptable as the fruit of your own ground or vineyard.

And this your heave offering,.... The tithe of the tithe, which though not properly heaved or lifted up, as the heave offerings, strictly so called, were, any more than the tithe itself, Numbers 18:24; yet is so called, because separated to the use and service of the Lord, as they were:
shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress; that is, it should be as acceptable to God as if they had fields and vineyards, threshing floors, and wine presses of their own, from whence corn and wine were taken, as the Israelites when they received their tithes from them; and what remained they had as good a right unto, and might make use of as their own, as well as they; see Numbers 18:30.

As though it were the corn - It shall be accepted of you as much as if you offered it out of your own lands and labours.
