“The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.”
The levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no allotment or inheritance with Israel; they may eat the offerings by fire to the LORD and his inheritance — the Levites' landlessness becomes their honor; the LORD himself constitutes their possession (nachalah), establishing a radical dependence on the community's sacrificial support.
