NETBible

However, Moses 1  did not assign land as an inheritance 2  to the Levites; their inheritance 3  is the sacrificial offerings 4  made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed 5  them.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “did not assign an inheritance.”

3 tn That is, “their source of food and life.”

4 tn Or “offerings made by fire.”

5 tn Or “promised” (Heb “spoke”).

5 sn For the background of this observation, see Deut 18:1-2.
