પોતાના વિષે સાંભળો કે જ્યાં સુધી તમે આ ભૂમિ પર વસો ત્યાં સુધી લેવીઓનો ત્યાગ તમારે કરવો નહિ.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १२:१९
और सावधान रह कि जब तक तू भूमि पर जीवित रहे तब तक लेवियों को न छोड़ना।

In context

17You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your free will offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;

18but you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates. You shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hand to.

19Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

20When the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.

21If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
