1 The priests the Levites and all the tribe of Levi shall have no part nor shall they inherit with Israel; they shall eat of the offerings on fire unto the LORD and of his inheritance. 2 Therefore, shall they have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as he has said unto them. 3 And this shall be the right of the priest from the people, from those that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; they shall give unto the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw. 4 The firstfruits also of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him; 5 for the LORD thy God has chosen him out of all thy tribes to stand to minister unto the name of the LORD, him and his sons all the days.
6 And when a Levite comes from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and comes with all the desire of his soul unto the place which the LORD shall choose, 7 then he shall minister unto the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do who stand there before the LORD. 8 They shall have like portions to eat besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
