Devarim 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 18:2

Therefore shall they have none inheritance among their
brethren
Neither of the field, nor of the vineyard, as the above Targum, because provision was made for them otherwise, and especially because

the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them,
(See Gill on Numbers 18:20), which as it may be understood in a spiritual sense of their interest in God, as their covenant God, and of their enjoyment of him, and communion with him; so chiefly in a temporal sense of all those things in the sacrifices which the Lord claimed to himself, and these he gave unto them; so the same Targum interprets this of the twenty four gifts of the priesthood, enumerated ( Numbers 18:1-32 ) .

Devarim 18:2 In-Context

2 Therefore shall they have no nachalah among their achim; Hashem is their nachalah, as He hath said unto them.

3 And this shall be the mishpat hakohanim (the right of the kohanim) from the people, from them that offer the zevach, whether it be shor or seh; and they shall give unto the kohen the shoulder, and the two jowls, and the stomach.

4 The reshit also of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the reshit of the shearing of thy tzon, shalt thou give him.
