5. For the Lord, your God, has chosen him out of all your tribes to be in attendance to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his descendants for all time.
6. When a Levite goes from one of your communities anywhere in Israel in which he has been residing, to visit, as his heart may desire, the place which the Lord will choose,
7. and ministers there in the name of the Lord, his God, like all his fellow Levites who stand before the Lord there,
8. he shall receive the same portions to eat, along with his stipends and patrimony.
9. When you come into the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of the nations there.
