1 The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi (joined to)—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel (he wrestles with God). They are to eat the food offerings to the LORD {YHWH}; that is their inheritance. 2 Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD {YHWH} is their inheritance, as He promised them. 3 This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach. 4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock. 5 For the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka} has chosen Levi and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in His name for all time. 6 Now if a Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel (he wrestles with God) and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD {YHWH} will choose, 7 then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God {YHWH Elohaw} like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
