18. But their meat is yours. It will be yours just as the breast of the uplifted offering and the right thigh are yours.
19. All the holy gift offerings that the Israelites raise to the Lord I have given to you, your sons, and your daughters. This is a permanent regulation. It is a covenant of salt forever in the Lord’s presence, for you and your descendants.
20. The Lord said to Aaron: You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have a share among them. I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites.
21. I have given all the one-tenth portions in Israel to the Levites as an inheritance. They are a reward for performing their service in the meeting tent.
22. The Israelites will no longer be able to approach the meeting tent, or they will be responsible for their sin and die.
