²⁶ “Speak to the Levites and say to them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you^(A) as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord’s offering.^(B)

²⁸ In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes^(A) you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the Lord’s portion to Aaron the priest.

⁵ Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people^(A)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.
