Deuteronomy 18:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
18 3 The portion of the Levites. 6 Of the Levites coming from another place. 9 To avoid the abominations of the Gentiles. 15 God will not leave them without a true Prophet.
1 The Priests of the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi (A)shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel, (B)but shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his [a]inheritance.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3 ¶ And this shall be the Priest’s duty of the people, that they which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullock or sheep, shall give unto the Priest the [b]shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
