²³ Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to work at the Sacred Tent, and they will be punished if anything bad happens to it. That is a law that will never be changed. You descendants of Levi will not receive any land among the other Israeli people,

²⁰ And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

²¹ And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:

²² That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,

²³ But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,

²⁴ But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.

²⁰ “You won't possess property in their country, and you won't have a share in their land. I am your share and your possession among the Israelites.

²² The Israelites are no longer allowed to approach the Tent of Meeting, or they will commit an offense and die.

²³ The Levites are to carry out the work in the Tent of Meeting, and they must take responsibility for any sins involved. This is a permanent rule for all future generations. The Levites won't receive a share of land among the Israelites.
