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 ) .
