Numbers 18:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ “Behold, I have given to the descendants^[a] of Levi every tithe in Israel as an inheritance in return for their service, which they are doing, the work of the tent of assembly. ²² The Israelites^[b] will not come near again to the tent of assembly, or they will bear sin^[c] and die. ²³ The Levites^[d] will perform the service of the tent of assembly, and they will bear their guilt, an eternal decree for all your generations. But they will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites^[e]
