- The priests, who are Levites--indeed the whole tribe of Levi--are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the offerings made to the LORD by fire, for that is their inheritance.
- They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the LORD is their inheritance, as he promised them.
- This is the share due the priests from the people who sacrifice a bull or a sheep: the shoulder, the jowls and the inner parts.
- You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,
- for the LORD your God has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the LORD's name always.

- The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
- Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
- And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
- The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
- For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
