Context Readings

Duties Of The Levites

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. 22 The sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting again, or they will bear sin and die. 23 Only the Levites will do the work at the tent of meeting. They are responsible for their own sins. This is a long lasting law for future generations. They will own no property, as the other Israelites will.
