Tithes for Support of the Levites

²¹ “Behold, ^(A)I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as ^[a]an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, ^(B)the work of the tabernacle of meeting.

²⁴ For the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer up as a heave offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites ^[a]as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’ ”

^37 (A)to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the ^[a]house of our God; and to bring ^(B)the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities.
