20 Then he increased the glory of Aaron(A)
    and bestowed upon him his inheritance:
The sacred offerings he allotted to him,
    with the showbread[a] as his portion;
21 The oblations of the Lord are his food,
    a gift to him and his descendants.
22 But he holds no land among the people
    nor shares with them their heritage;
For the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance
    among the Israelites.
