Deuteronomy 10:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “At the same time, the LORD separated the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to bless in His Name, to this day.

⁹ “Therefore, Levi does not have the same inheritance as his brothers. The LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God has promised him.

¹⁰ “And I stayed on the mount, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights. And the LORD also heard me at that time. The LORD would not destroy you.
