Deuteronomy 10:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ From there they moved on to Gudgodah and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with flowing streams. ⁸ At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, to stand in the Lord’s presence, to serve, and to bless his name until this day. ⁹ That is why the descendants of Levi do not have a portion and an inheritance among their relatives. As for^[a] the Lord, he is their inheritance, just as the Lord your God told them.
