1. The priests are from the tribe of Levi. That tribe will not receive a share of the land with the Israelites. They will eat the offerings made to the Lord by fire. That is their share.
2. They will not inherit any of the land like their brothers. They will inherit the Lord himself. This is what he promised them.
3. When you offer a bull or sheep as a sacrifice, you must share with the priests. Give them the shoulder, the cheeks and the inner organs.
4. Give them the first of your grain, new wine and oil. Give them the first wool you cut from your sheep.
5. The Lord your God has chosen the priests and their descendants out of all your tribes. They are to stand and serve the Lord always.
6. A Levite might move from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he lives. He is sincere and comes to the place the Lord will choose.
7. He may serve the Lord his God. He will be like his fellow Levites who serve there before the Lord.
