Deuteronomy 12:20
"Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land."
Key Reflection
This verse emphasizes the importance of supporting the Levites, who had no inheritance of their own and relied on the offerings and tithes of other tribes for sustenance. By ensuring they are taken care of, the Israelites upheld their covenant responsibilities and maintained a proper relationship with God's appointed servants in the temple.
