for the priests that are hallowed—the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, —who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as, the Levites, went astray.

19 And the laborers of the city, men taken out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.

22 And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
