Numbers 18:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:

²² That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,

²³ But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,
