⁹ For this reason, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance like his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God told him.^(A)

⁷ But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the Lord.^(A) Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave them.”

²⁸ “This will be their inheritance: I am their inheritance.^(A) You are to give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession. ²⁹ They will eat the grain offering, the sin offering,^(B) and the restitution offering. Everything in Israel that is permanently dedicated to the Lord will belong to them.^{(C) 30} The best of all the firstfruits of every kind and contribution of every kind from all your gifts will belong to the priests.^(D) You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest^(E) so that a blessing may rest on your homes.^(F)
