DEUT917 The tribe of Levi shall not receive booty from the conquest of the Land of Israel or from other warfare. The Levites and Kohanim, Hashem's attendants in the Beis HaMikdash, are sanctified for a sublime calling, so it is not fitting that they take booty snatched in wartime. All that is associated with Hashem's House must be obtained peacefully, through justice, fairness, and mutual agreement, without any trace of violence or force.
