And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 18 of Numbers. The Levites receive Israel’s tithes as an inheritance for their service, but they must also give a tithe of the tithes to the priests. The arrangement prevents the tithe from being viewed as personal property detached from worship. The system maintains a chain of responsibility within ministry and requires even those who receive resources designated for service to acknowledge God’s authority over them.
