3. When you sacrifice a bull or sheep, the priests will be given the shoulder, the jaws, and the stomach.
4. In addition, they will receive the first part of your grain harvest and part of your first batches of wine and olive oil. You must also give them the first wool that is cut from your sheep each year.
5. Give these gifts to the priests, because the Lord has chosen them and their descendants out of all the tribes of Israel to be his special servants at the place of worship.
6. Any Levite can leave his home town, and go to the place where the Lord chooses to be worshipped,
7. and then be a special servant of the Lord there, just like all the other Levites.
8. Some Levites may have money from selling family possessions, and others may not. But all Levites serving at the place of worship will receive the same amount of food from the sacrifices and gifts brought by the people.
9. Soon you will go into the land that the Lord your God is giving you. The nations that live there do things that are disgusting to the Lord, and you must not follow their example.
