Numbers 18:21

Offerings for Priests and Levites

20Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.21Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.22No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
