וְלִבְנֵ֣י לֵוִ֔י הִנֵּ֥ה נָתַ֛תִּי כָּל־מַֽעֲשֵׂ֥ר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְנַחֲלָ֑ה חֵ֤לֶף עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙ אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֣ם עֹֽבְדִ֔ים אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
Adapun kepada anak-anak Lewi, sesungguhnya Aku telah memberikan segala persepuluhan di Israel sebagai milik pusaka, sebagai imbalan atas pekerjaan yang mereka lakukan, yaitu pekerjaan Kemah Pertemuan.
Zohar
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, SPEAK UNTO THE PRIESTS THE SONS OF AARON AND SAY UNTO THEM, THERE SHALL NONE DEFILE HIMSELF FOR THE DEAD AMONG HIS PEOPLE. R. Jose said: ‘What is the connection of this with the verse that immediately precedes, “A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit or that is a wizard shall be put to death” (Lev. 20, 27)? It is this: that having admonished the Israelites to sanctify themselves, the Scripture now admonishes the priests to sanctify themselves specially. Later, too, it admonishes the Levites (Num. 18, 21 et seq.), so that all should become holy and pure.
