Deuteronomy 18:1-3

New American Standard Bible

Portion for the Levites

18 “^(A)The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, shall not have a portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the Lord’s offerings by fire and His ^[a]property. ^2 (B)They shall not have an inheritance among their countrymen; the Lord is their inheritance, as He ^[b]promised them.

³ “^(C)Now this shall be the priests’ portion from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, either an ox or a sheep: they shall give the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.
