In the first half of Chapter 18 in Deuteronomy, Moses tells of the priests--the Levites. They do not known any land, however are given offerings from all of the others. These offerings are tithes--I believe this is true, however the Bible passages don't specifically say so--and therefore the first fruits of everyone's labor.
The second half regards prophets. When the Lord appeared to everyone at the mountain, so long ago in their journey, the Israelites were afraid and requested that the Lord speak through Moses. Or a prophet. The Lord liked this idea, and when Moses was gone He would have others in the place of Moses to speak the Lord's truth.
