Deuteronomy 18:1-8 - Provisions For The Levites

¹ The Levitical priests including the entire tribe of Levi will receive no land or property of their own like the rest of the Israelites. They will eat what has been sacrificed to Jehovah. These sacrifices will be what they receive. ² They are to own no land, as the other tribes do. Their inheritance is the privilege of being Jehovah's priests, as Jehovah told them. ³ When cattle or sheep are sacrificed, the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the stomach. ⁴ They are to receive the first share of the grain, wine, olive oil, and wool. ⁵ Jehovah chose from all your tribes the tribe of Levi to serve him and his sons as priests forever. ⁶ Any Levite who wants to may come from any town in Israel to the one place of worship. ⁷ He may serve there, as a priest of Jehovah his God, like the other Levites who are serving there. ⁸ He is to receive the same amount of food as the other priests. He may keep everything his family sends him.
