NETBible

But the Levites must perform the service¹ of the tent of meeting, and they must bear their iniquity.² It will be a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations that among the Israelites the Levites³ have no inheritance.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn 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.”

²sn The Levites have the care of the tent of meeting, and so they are responsible for any transgressions against it.

³tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Levites) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn 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.
