Ulangan 10:9

10:9 Therefore Levi has no allotment or inheritance ¹  among his brothers; ²  the Lord is his inheritance just as the Lord your God told him.

Ulangan 12:12

12:12 You shall rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God, along with your sons, daughters, male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages ³  (since they have no allotment or inheritance with you). ⁴ 

[10:9]  ¹ sn Levi has no allotment or inheritance. As the priestly tribe, Levi would have no land allotment except for forty-eight towns set apart for their use (Num 35:1-8; Josh 21:1-42). But theirs was a far greater inheritance, for the Lord himself was their apportionment, that is, service to him would be their full-time and lifelong privilege (Num 18:20-24; Deut 18:2; Josh 13:33).

[10:9]  ² tn That is, among the other Israelite tribes.

[12:12]  ³ tn Heb “within your gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “who belongs to your community.”

[12:12]  ⁴ sn They have no allotment or inheritance with you. See note on the word “inheritance” in Deut 10:9.
