Core Text

״כִּי שָׂכָר הוּא לָכֶם״ – מְלַמֵּד שֶׁאִם עָבַד יִטֹּל וְאִם לֹא עָבַד לֹא יִטֹּל.

English: “For it is your wage” — teaches that if he served he takes, and if he did not serve he does not take.

Wage for service only.

Levi portion is wages for service: one who does not serve has no share.
