Numbers 18:21-28

VIN(i) 21 "I have given the Levites one-tenth of every Israelite’s income. This is in return for the work they do at the tent of meeting. 22 »The other Israelites must never again come near the tent of meeting. Otherwise, they will suffer the consequences of their sin and die. 23 »Only the Levites will do the work at the tent of meeting. They are responsible for their own sins. This is a long lasting law for future generations. They will own no property, as the other Israelites will. 24 "Instead, I will give the Levites what the Israelites contribute to the LORD, one-tenth of the Israelites’ income. This is why I said about them: They will own no property as the other Israelites do." 25 the LORD said to Moses: 26 "You will speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you receive the tithe from the Israelites that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to the LORD, a tithe from a tithe. 27 "'Your contribution will be considered to be grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress. 28 Thus you also will offer a heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the sons of Israel. And from it you will give the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
