45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the Israelites, and take the domestic animals of the Levites in place of their domestic animals, and the Levites must become mine. I am Jehovah.

3 Moses had given the inheritance of the other two and a half tribes on the other side* of the Jordan,+ and to the Levites he did not give an inheritance among them.+

7 But the Levites will not be given a share among you,+ because the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance;+ and Gad, Reuʹben, and the half tribe of Ma·nasʹseh+ have already taken their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.”
