Deuteronomy 18:1-8 - Provisions For The Levites

¹ "The Levitical priests, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the LORD's food offerings as their inheritance. ² They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the LORD is their inheritance, as he promised them. ³ And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from those offering a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach. ⁴ The firstfruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him. ⁵ For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for all time. ⁶ "And if a Levite comes from any of your towns out of all Israel, where he lives--and he may come when he desires--to the place that the LORD will choose, ⁷ and ministers in the name of the LORD his God, like all his fellow Levites who stand to minister there before the LORD, ⁸ then he may have equal portions to eat, besides what he receives from the sale of his patrimony.
