“At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.”
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name. This is why Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites — the Levites are sanctified for two primary functions: carrying the ark (the physical sanctuary) and priestly service (ministering, blessing). Their lack of inherited land makes them wholly dependent on covenant provisions and tithes.
