Deuteronomy 18:1-8
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 18
1 The priests who are Levites,[a] in fact, the whole tribe of Levi, will have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They can eat from the burnt offerings made to the Lord, that is their inheritance. 2 They will have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as he has promised them. 3 This is the portion due to the priest from the people who offer a sacrifice of either an ox or a sheep: the shoulder, the jowl, and the inner organs. 4 You will give them the firstfruits of the grain, the wine, and the oil, as well as the first sheering of the sheep 5 for the Lord, your God, has chosen him and his sons out of all of the tribes to minister in the Lord’s name forever. 6 If any Levite in all of Israel moves from his town where he had been living and he desires to go to the place that the Lord will choose, 7 then he may minister in the name of the Lord, his God, like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord. 8 He will be given an equal share in their benefits in addition to the proceeds from the sale of his inheritance.
