²⁰Adonai said to Aaron Light-bringer, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel God prevails. (7)

²¹“To the children of Levi United with, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel God prevails for an inheritance, in teshuvah ·complete return· for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.

²²Henceforth the children of Israel God prevails shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

²³But the Levites Descendants of United with shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a statute forever throughout all your generations. Among the children of Israel God prevails, they shall have no inheritance.

²⁴For the tithe of the children of Israel God prevails, which they offer as a wave offering to Adonai , I have given to the Levites Descendants of United with for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel God prevails they shall have no inheritance.’”

²⁶“Moreover you shall speak to the Levites Descendants of United with, and tell them, ‘When you take of the children of Israel God prevails the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Adonai , a tithe of the tithe.
