²⁰ Then the Lord said to Aaron, “^(A)You shall have no inheritance in their land nor own any portion among them; ^(B)I am your portion and your inheritance among the sons of Israel.

²³ Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall ^(A)bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel ^(B)they shall have no inheritance.

²⁴ For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said concerning them, ‘^(A)They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.’”
