Ben Sira 45:22

22 But in the land of the people he has no inheritance, and he has no portion among the people; for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

Ben Sira 45:22 In-Context

20 He added glory to Aaron and gave him a heritage; he allotted to him the best of the first fruits, and prepared bread of first fruits in abundance;

21 for they eat the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave to him and his descendants.

22 But in the land of the people he has no inheritance, and he has no portion among the people; for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

23 Phinehas son of Eleazar ranks third in glory for being zealous in the fear of the Lord, and standing firm, when the people turned away, in the noble courage of his soul; and he made atonement for Israel.

24 Therefore a covenant of friendship was established with him, that he should be leader of the sanctuary and of his people, that he and his descendants should have the dignity of the priesthood forever.
