New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 18:1-5 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. The Levitical priests and all the tribe of Levi will not have any portion or inheritance with Israel. They must eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire and His portion.

2. They will have no inheritance among their brothers. The Lord is their inheritance, just as He has said to them.

3. This shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be an ox or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.

4. You must give him the first fruit of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep also.

5. For the Lord your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons forever.
