Numbers 18:20-24
New American Standard Bible
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.
21 “To the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the (C)tithe in Israel as an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting. 22 And (D)the sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting again, or they will bring sin on themselves and die. 23 Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall (E)bear their own guilt; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel (F)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 as an inheritance; therefore I have said concerning them, ‘(G)They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.’”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no allotment in their land, nor shall you have any share among them; I am your share and your possession among the Israelites.(A)
21 “To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for a possession in return for the service that they perform, the service in the tent of meeting.(B) 22 From now on the Israelites shall no longer approach the tent of meeting, or else they will incur guilt and die.(C) 23 But the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear responsibility for their own offenses; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations. But among the Israelites they shall have no allotment,(D) 24 because I have given to the Levites as their portion the tithe of the Israelites, which they set apart as an offering to the Lord. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no allotment among the Israelites.”
