Numbers 18:8-20
Then the Lord spoke to Aaron,“ Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions brought to Me. As for all the holy offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.A portion of the holiest offerings kept from the fire will be yours; every one of their offerings that they give Me, whether the grain offering, sin offering, or restitution offering will be most holy for you and your sons.You are to eat it as a most holy offering. Every male may eat it; it is to be holy to you.“ The contribution of their gifts also belongs to you. I have given all the Israelites’ presentation offerings to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your house may eat it.I am giving you all the best of the fresh olive oil, new wine, and grain, which the Israelites give to the Lord as their firstfruits.The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, belong to you. Every clean person in your house may eat them.“ Everything in Israel that is permanently dedicated to the Lord belongs to you.The firstborn of every living thing, man or animal, presented to the Lord belongs to you. But you must certainly redeem the firstborn of man, and redeem the firstborn of an unclean animal.You will pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your assessment: five shekels of silver by the standard sanctuary shekel, which is 20 gerahs.“ However, you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a fire offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord.But their meat belongs to you. It belongs to you like the breast of the presentation offering and the right thigh.“ I give to you and to your sons and daughters all the holy contributions that the Israelites present to the Lord as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the Lord for you as well as your offspring.”The Lord told Aaron,“ You will not have an inheritance in their land; there will be no portion among them for you. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

Malachi 1:8-10
“ When you present a blind animal for sacrifice, is it not wrong? And when you present a lame or sick animal, is it not wrong? Bring it to your governor! Would he be pleased with you or show you favor?” asks the Lord of Hosts.“ And now ask for God’s favor. Will He be gracious to us? Since this has come from your hands, will He show any of you favor?” asks the Lord of Hosts.“ I wish one of you would shut the temple doors, so you would no longer kindle a useless fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of Hosts,“ and I will accept no offering from your hands.

“ The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, will have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They will eat the Lord’s fire offerings; that is their inheritance.Although Levi has no inheritance among his brothers, the Lord is his inheritance, as He promised him.This is the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether it is an ox, a sheep, or a goat; the priests are to be given the shoulder, jaws, and stomach.You are to give him the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first sheared wool of your flock.For Yahweh your God has chosen him and his sons from all your tribes to stand and minister in His name from now on.

Numbers 35:2-8
“ Command the Israelites to give cities out of their hereditary property for the Levites to live in and pastureland around the cities.The cities will be for them to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their herds, flocks, and all their other animals.The pasturelands of the cities you are to give the Levites will extend from the city wall 500 yards on every side.Measure 1,000 yards outside the city for the east side, 1,000 yards for the south side, 1,000 yards for the west side, and 1,000 yards for the north side, with the city in the center. This will belong to them as pasturelands for the cities.“ The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you must provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give 42 other cities.The total number of cities you give the Levites will be 48, along with their pasturelands.Of the cities that you give from the Israelites’ territory, you should take more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. Each tribe is to give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance it receives.”
