God’s Word Translation
Deuteronomy 18:1-7
1The Levitical priests—in fact, the whole tribe of Levi—will receive no land or property of their own like the rest of the Israelites. They will eat what has been sacrificed to the Lord. These sacrifices will be what they receive.
2So the Levites will have no land of their own like the other Israelites. The Lord will be their inheritance, as he promised them.
3This is what the people owe the priests whenever they sacrifice an ox, a sheep, or a goat: the shoulder, jaws, and stomach.
4Also, give them the first produce harvested: grain, new wine, olive oil, and the first wool you shear from your sheep.
5Out of all your tribes, the Lord your God has chosen the Levites and their descendants to do the work of serving in the name of the Lord forever.
6A Levite from any of your cities in Israel may come from where he has been living to the place the Lord will choose. He may come as often as he wants
7and may serve in the name of the Lord his God like all the other Levites who do their work in the Lord’s presence.
