1. The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire and his portion.
2. They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3. This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4. The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
5. For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons for ever.
