THE SHARE OF THE PRIESTS
1 “The priestly tribe of Levi is not to receive any share of land in Israel; instead, they are to live on the offerings and other sacrifices given to the Lord.
2 They are to own no land, as the other tribes do; their share is the privilege of being the Lord's priests, as the Lord has promised.
3 “Whenever cattle or sheep are sacrificed, the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the stomach.
4 They are to receive the first share of the grain, wine, olive oil, and wool.
5 The Lord chose from all your tribes the tribe of Levi to serve him as priests forever.
6 “Any Levite who wants to may come from any town in Israel to the one place of worship
7 and may serve there as a priest of the Lord his God, like the other Levites who are serving there.
8 He is to receive the same amount of food as the other priests, and he may keep whatever his family sends him.
ACTS 20:13-16
FROM TROAS TO MILETUS
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed off to Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had told us to do this, because he was going there by land.
14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
15 We sailed from there and arrived off Chios the next day. A day later we came to Samos, and the following day we reached Miletus.
16 Paul had decided to sail on by Ephesus, so as not to lose any time in the province of Asia. He was in a hurry to arrive in Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost, if at all possible.
