But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
22

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

23

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

26

Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel-Specific Promises

While the verse speaks of an inheritance "among the children of Israel," the primary focus is on the Levites' unique role and their specific provision, rather than a promise *to* Israel as a whole.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse primarily discusses the financial support system for the Levites, not the physical sanctuary itself or the sacrificial system, and could be interpreted as a purely economic arrangement for a specific tribe.

Land Sabbath / Rest for the Earth

This verse explicitly concerns the inheritance of the Levites and the source of their provision (tithes), making no mention of land resting, seven-year cycles, jubilee, fallow fields, or any form of land exploitation.
