Ezekiel 20 points to the fact that God allowed other nations and their statues to rule over His people because they had lost their way. It was basically like "you really want to see if the grass is greener? By all means and don't let the door hit you on the way out."

Exodus 20 is about the dedication of priests to the Levites. It has been assumed that it was not an actual tribe per say but a caste of those suited for priestly duties. I assume that was why there was a tithe as these priests had to forsake their inheritance to take on their roles. I'm not sure if marriage was allowed or not for the priests.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
