Deuteronomy 18:7-9

Living Bible

^6-7 “Any Levite, no matter where he lives in the land of Israel, has the right to come to the sanctuary at any time and minister in the name of the Lord, just like his brother Levites who work there regularly. ⁸ He shall be given his share of the sacrifices and offerings as his right, not just if he is in need.

⁹ “When you arrive in the Promised Land you must be very careful lest you be corrupted by the horrible customs of the nations now living there.
