18:12 “All the best of the olive oil and all the best of the wine and of the wheat, the first fruits of these things that they give to the Lord, I have given to you. 1
18:20 The Lord spoke to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion of property 2 among them – I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites. 18:21 See, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform – the service of the tent of meeting. 18:22 No longer may the Israelites approach the tent of meeting, or else they will bear their sin 3 and die. 18:23 But the Levites must perform the service 4 of the tent of meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. 5 It will be a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations that among the Israelites the Levites 6 have no inheritance. 7 18:24 But I have given 8 to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the Israelites that are offered 9 to the Lord as a raised offering. That is why I said to them that among the Israelites they are to have no inheritance.”
