Deuteronomy 10:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ “Then they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, a land of brooks and water. ⁸ It was there that Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark containing the Ten Commandments of Jehovah, and to stand before the Lord and to do his work and to bless his name, just as is done today. ⁹ (That is why the tribe of Levi does not have a portion of land reserved for it in the Promised Land, as their brother tribes do; for as the Lord told them, he himself is their inheritance.)
