Numbers 18:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ Tithes Owed to the Levites.“I give the Levites all the tithes in Israel, an inheritance for the work that they perform in serving in the tent of meeting. ²² From now on the people of Israel must not approach the tent of meeting lest they sin and die. ²³ The Levites will do the work of the tent of meeting. They will bear responsibility for offenses against it. This is an everlasting ordinance for all your generations. They will receive no inheritance from among the people of Israel.
