The Lord also said to Aaron, “You will not get any of the land. And you will not own anything that the other people own. I, the Lord, will be yours. The Israelite people will get the land that I promised. But I am my gift to you.
That is why the Levites [59] did not get any share of land like the other family groups did. The Levites have the Lord for their share. That is what the Lord your God promised them.)
Come to that place with all your people—your children, all your servants, and the Levites [76] living in your towns. (These Levites will not have a share of the land for their own.) Enjoy yourselves together there with the Lord your God.
This food is for the Levites, [94] because they don’t have any land of their own. This food is also for other people in your towns that need it. That food is for foreigners, widows, and children that have no parents. If you do this, then the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
The elders {\cf2\super [27]} who lead the church in a good way should receive double honor. This is especially true for those elders who do the work of counseling and teaching.
