Deuteronomy 14:27

Context
14:27 As for the Levites in your villages, you must not ignore them, for they have no allotment or inheritance along with you.

1 sn Levi has no allotment or inheritance. As the priestly tribe, Levi would have no land allotment except for forty-eight towns set apart for their use (Num 35:1-8; Josh 21:1-42). But theirs was a far greater inheritance, for the Lord himself was their apportionment, that is, service to him would be their full-time and lifelong privilege (Num 18:20-24; Deut 18:2; Josh 13:33).

2 tn That is, among the other Israelite tribes.
