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 property ¹  among them – I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

Numbers 27:4

27:4 Why should the name of our father be lost from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession ²  among the relatives ³  of our father.”

[18:20]  ¹ tn The phrase “of property” is supplied as a clarification.

[27:4]  ² tn That is, the possession of land, or property, among the other families of their tribe.

[27:4]  ³ tn The word is “brothers,” but this can be interpreted more loosely to relatives. So also in v. 7.
