Numbers 18:21-24 - The Share 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 other Israelites must never again come near the tent of meeting. Otherwise, they will suffer the consequences of their 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. ²⁴ Instead, I will give the Levites what the Israelites contribute to Jehovah, one-tenth of the Israelites' income. This is why I said about them: They will own no property as the other Israelites do.
