New Testament

Deuteronomy 18:4-9 New International Version (NIV)

4. You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,

5. for the Lord your God has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the Lord’s name always.

6. If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,

7. he may minister in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord.

8. He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.

9. When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
