1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ Also when a Levite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where he remained, and come with [a]all the desire of his heart unto the place, which the Lord shall choose,
7 He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites, which remain there before the Lord.
8 They shall have like portions to eat [b]beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

New International Version
6 If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,(A) 7 he may minister in the name(B) of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord. 8 He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.(C)
