Deuteronomy 18:1

The Portion of the Priests and Levites

1 “The priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have¹ no part nor ^ainheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and His portion.

2 Therefore they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as He said to them.

3 “And this shall be the priest’s ^adue from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it is bull or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, the cheeks, and the stomach.

4 ^aThe firstfruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.

5 For ^athe Lord your God has chosen him out of all your tribes ^bto stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons forever.

6 “So if a Levite comes from any of your gates, from where he ^adwells among all Israel, and comes with all the desire of his mind ^bto the place which the Lord chooses,

7 then he may serve in the name of the Lord his God ^aas all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before the Lord.
