Deuteronomy 18:1-8

¹The Levitical priests — indeed the whole tribe of Levi — shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD; that is their inheritance.

²Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.

³This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.

⁴You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.

⁵For the LORD your God has chosen Levi and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in His name for all time.

⁶Now if a Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose,

⁷then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.

⁸They shall eat equal portions, even though he has received money from the sale of his father’s estate.
