20 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Aaron (light bringer), “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 (God prevails). 21 Behold, I have given to the Levites (joined to) all the tithes in Israel (he wrestles with God) as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting. 22 No longer may the Israelites (God prevails) come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die. 23 The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites (God prevails). 24 For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites (God prevails) present to the LORD {YHWH} as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.” Numbers 18:20-24, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
