And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do , which stand there before the LORD . They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
