20 Yahweh also told Aharon, “You priests won’t inherit any land or property—I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelis.

21 For an inheritance for the Levites, I’ve given them all the tenths given by the Israelis as their inheritance in exchange for their service at the sacred tent. 22 The other Israelis mustn’t approach that tent or they’ll incur guilt and die, 23 but the Levites must serve at the sacred tent and they must bear their inadequacies. That order applies for all future generations, including the not inheriting any land like the other Israelis. 24 That’s because I’ve given the Levites that tenth that the other Israelis offer to Yahweh as a donation. That’s why I said that they won’t receive any other inheritance.”
