18:1 The Levitical priests – indeed, the entire tribe of Levi – will have no allotment or inheritance with Israel ; they may eat the burnt offerings of the Lord and of his inheritance .
18:2 They will have no inheritance in the midst of their fellow Israelites; the Lord alone is their inheritance , just as he had told them.
18:3 This shall be the priests ’ fair allotment from the people who offer sacrifices , whether bull or sheep – they must give to the priest the shoulder , the jowls , and the stomach .
