The Levites were one of the tribes of Israel. Israel's priests were chosen from this tribe. They are referred to as the Levitical priests. Israel was a theocracy which means its government was run by its religious leaders (Levites/Levitcal priests).

Under the Mosaic Law (Law of Moses) the other eleven tribes were commanded to pay tithes to the Levites. In turn, the Levitical priests were responsible for offering the tithes to the Lord as a form of ceremonial/religious worship.
