1. “The priestly tribe of Levi is not to receive any share of land in Israel; instead, they are to live on the offerings and other sacrifices given to the Lord.

2. They are to own no land, as the other tribes do; their share is the privilege of being the Lord's priests, as the Lord has promised.

3. “Whenever cattle or sheep are sacrificed, the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the stomach.

4. They are to receive the first share of the corn, wine, olive oil, and wool.

5. The Lord chose from all your tribes the tribe of Levi to serve him as priests for ever.
