Deuteronomy 18:1-8 - Provisions For The Levites

1 The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel. The offerings of the LORD and his inheritance they shall eat, 2 but shall have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD he is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. 3 And this is the duty of the priests, of the people and of them that offer, whether it be ox or sheep: They must give unto the priest, the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw, 4 the first fruits of thy corn, wine and oil, and the first of thy sheep shearing must thou give him. 5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes to stand and to minister in the name of the LORD: both him and his sons forever. 6 If a Levite come out of any of thy cities or any place of Israel, where he is a sojourner, and come with all the lust of his heart unto the place which the LORD hath chosen: 7 he shall there minister in the name of the LORD his God as all his brethren the Levites do which stand there before the LORD. 8 And they shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh to him of the patrimony of his elders.
