Numbers 18:20

Duties Of The Levites

¹⁹ I have given you, your sons, and your daughters all the holy contributions which the Israelites offer to Jehovah. These contributions will be yours from generation to generation. It is an everlasting promise of salt in Jehovah's presence for you and your descendants. ²⁰ Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land nor own any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the sons of Israel. ²¹ I have given the Levites one-tenth of every Israelite's income. This is in return for the work they do at the tent of meeting.
