Numbers 18:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 The Israelites[a] will not come near again to the tent of assembly, or they will bear sin[b] and die. 23 The Levites[c] will perform the service of the tent of assembly, and they will bear their guilt, an eternal decree for all your generations. But they will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites[d] 24 because the tithes[e] of the Israelites[f] that are offered[g] to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, ‘They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites.’”[h]
