DEU 18:1-8 Levitical Men Inheritance Law

Scripture

The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire and his portion. 2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. YHWH is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them. 3 This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts. 4 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep. 5 For YHWH your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in YHWH’s name, him and his sons forever.

6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which YHWH shall choose, 7 then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before YHWH. 8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
