Tithes for the Levites

21And to the sons of Levi, behold, I have given every tithe in Israel as an inheritance, in return for the service that they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.

22And the sons of Israel shall no longer come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

23But the Levite himself shall serve the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel they shall not inherit an inheritance.

24For I have given to the Levites as an inheritance the tithe of the children of Israel, which they lift up to the LORD as a contribution; therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’
