Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.

And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring {it} into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as {it is} written in the law:

Or saith he {it} altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, {this} is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

And the priests and the Levites that {were} in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. {resorted...: Heb. presented themselves to him}

And the Levite that {is} within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that {is} within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

The priests the Levites, {and} all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given {them}: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that {is} within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion {assigned them} of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. {priests: or, princes}

These {are} the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

And over against the border of the priests the Levites {shall have} five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length {shall be} five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

Take {it} of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, {for} an heave offering of the LORD.

Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire {are} their inheritance, as he said unto them.
