← Numbers 18:22	Numbers 18:23 (KJV)	Numbers 18:24 →
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.	But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.	But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
