9Therefore, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance [of tribal land] with his brothers; 10:9 Serving as priests, the Levites were to live off the various offerings presented by the people (Num 18:21; Deut 18:1; Josh 13:14). In addition, each of the other tribes set aside cities within their respective territories for the Levites (Num 35:1-8).the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God 10:9 Lit has spoken to.has promised him.)
9That’s why the Levites don’t have any part of the land the Lord gave the other tribes in Israel. They don’t have any share among them. The Lord himself is their share. That’s what the Lord your God told them.
