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.
