Numbers 18:20

Duties of the Levites

18:20 The Lord spoke to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion of property¹ among them – I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

Numbers 18:23

Context
18:23 But the Levites must perform the service² of the tent of meeting, and they must bear their iniquity.³ It will be a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations that among the Israelites the Levites⁴ have no inheritance.⁵

¹tn The phrase “of property” is supplied as a clarification.

²tn The verse begins with the perfect tense of עָבַד (’avad) with vav (ו) consecutive, making the form equal to the instructions preceding it. As its object the verb has the cognate accusative “service.”

³sn The Levites have the care of the tent of meeting, and so they are responsible for any transgressions against it.

⁴tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Levites) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn The Hebrew text uses both the verb and the object from the same root to stress the point: They will not inherit an inheritance. The inheritance refers to land.
