²⁰ The Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them;^(A) I am your share and your inheritance^(B) among the Israelites.

²³ It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance^(A) for the generations to come.^(B) They will receive no inheritance^(C) among the Israelites.^{(D) 24} Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.^(E) That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’”

⁶² All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000.^(A) They were not counted^(B) along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance^(C) among them.^(D)

⁹ That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,^(A) as the Lord your God told them.)

¹² And there rejoice^(A) before the Lord your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites^(B) from your towns who have no allotment or inheritance^(C) of their own.

²⁷ And do not neglect the Levites^(A) living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.^(B)

Offerings for Priests and Levites

18 The Levitical^(A) priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings^(B) presented to the Lord, for that is their inheritance.^{(C) 2} They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,^(D) as he promised them.^(E)

¹⁴ But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.^(A)

³³ But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;^(A) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,^(B) as he promised them.^(C)
