²² But the other ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] must never go near the Meeting Tent, or they will die for their sin. ²³ Only the Levites should work in the Meeting Tent and be responsible for any sins against it. This is a ·rule from now on [perpetual statute/ordinance/requirement throughout your generations]. The Levites will not inherit any land among the other ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel], ²⁴ but when the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] give a ·tenth [^Ttithe] of everything they make to me, I will give that ·tenth [^Ttithe] to the Levites as a reward. That is why I said about the Levites: ‘They will not inherit any land among the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel].’”
