Numbers 18:21-24

21 a“To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting, 22 bso that the people of Israel do not come near the tent of meeting, clest they bear sin and die. 23But dthe Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, eand they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 24For the tithe of the people of Israel, which fthey present as a contribution to the Lord, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance gamong the people of Israel.”
