of the tent of meeting, and they must bear their iniquity.
It will be a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations that among the Israelites the Levites
have no inheritance.

to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the Israelites that are offered
to the
Lord as a raised offering. That is why I said to them that among the Israelites they are to have no inheritance.”
