Oh?
Prove it.

Elsie: Oh? Prove it. (The Tribe of LEVI might have some tips on how to survive.)
I'll have to use that old Testament to prove it:
Numbers 35:1-3 (New International Version)
Towns for the Levites
1 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses, 2 Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. And give them pasturelands around the towns. 3 Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands for the cattle they own and all their other animals.
God's expectations for the Levites is that they would work for their living, not by preaching His Word, but by other means of earning a living.
Nota Bene: the Levites are God appointed, not self-appointed. That's the OT proof.
