Deuteronomy 18:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ If a Levite go out of any one of the cities throughout all Israel, in which he dwelleth, and have a longing mind to come to the place which the Lord shall choose,

⁷ He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord.

⁸ He shall receive the same portion of food that the rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
