Numbers 18:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ The Lord also said to Aaron, “You will not inherit any of the land, and you will not own any land among the other people [Gen. 49:5–7]. I will be yours. Out of all the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel], only you will inherit me.

²¹ “When the people of Israel give me a ·tenth [^Ttithe] of what they make, I will give that tenth to the ·Levites [^Lsons of Levi; Lev. 27:30–32; Deut. 12:17–19; 14:22–29]. This is their payment for the work they do serving at the Meeting Tent. ²² But the other ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] must never go near the Meeting Tent, or they will die for their sin.
