Numbers 18:21-23

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ “Look, I have given the Levites every tenth^(A) in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the work of the tent of meeting. ²² The Israelites must never again come near the tent of meeting, or they will incur guilt and die. ²³ The Levites will do the work of the tent of meeting, and they will bear the consequences of their iniquity. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites;^(B) this is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
