20 And the Lord said to Aaron: 'In their land, you shall possess nothing; neither shall you have a portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
21 But I have given, to the sons of Levi, all the tithes of Israel as a possession, for the ministry by which they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant,
22 so that the sons of Israel may no longer approach to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin.
23 Only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle and may carry the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall possess nothing else;
24 being content with the oblation of tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.'
