*
The priests the Levites ,
and all the tribe of Levi ,
shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel :
they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
and his inheritance .
*
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren :
the LORD is their inheritance ,
as he hath said unto them .
*
And this shall be the priest '
s due from the people ,
from them that offer a sacrifice ,
whether it be ox or sheep ;
and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder ,
and the two cheeks ,
and the maw .
*
The firstfruit also of thy corn ,
of thy wine ,
and of thine oil ,
and the first of the fleece of thy sheep ,
shalt thou give him .
*
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes ,
to stand to minister in the name of the LORD ,
him and his sons for ever .
*
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel ,
where he sojourned ,
and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose ;
*
Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God ,
as all his brethren the Levites do ,
which stand there before the LORD .
*
They shall have like portions to eat ,
beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony .
