Joshua 13:33 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 13:33

But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance,
&c.] Neither on the other side Jordan, nor did he order them any in Canaan; but expressly declared they were to have no part in the division of it, though they were his own tribe; which shows him to be a disinterested man, that he faithfully observed the orders and instructions the Lord gave him:

the Lord God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said unto them;
what was given to the Lord out of the sacrifices, and the tithes, and firstfruits, that were theirs; see ( Numbers 18:20-32 ) ( Deuteronomy 18:1-8 ) .

Joshua 13:33 In-Context

31 It includes half of the land of Gilead. It also includes Ashtaroth and Edrei. They were the royal cities of Og in Bashan. That land was given to half of the family line of Makir. He was the son of Manasseh. Each family group received its share.

32 Those were the shares of land Moses had given the eastern tribes when he was in the flatlands of Moab. The flatlands are across the Jordan River east of Jericho.

33 But Moses hadn't given any share to the tribe of Levi. The Lord, the God of Israel, is their share. Moses gave the Levites what he had promised them.
