^62 (A)Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; ^(B)for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was ^(C)no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.

^9 (A)Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)

^2 (A)“Command the children of Israel that they give the Levites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possession, and you shall also give the Levites ^(B)common-land around the cities. ³ They shall have the cities to dwell in; and their common-land shall be for their cattle, for their herds, and for all their animals. ⁴ The common-land of the cities which you will give the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits all around. ⁵ And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. The city shall be in the middle. This shall belong to them as common-land for the cities.

⁶ “Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint ^(C)six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities. ⁷ So all the cities you will give to the Levites shall be ^(D)forty-eight; these you shall give with their common-land. ⁸ And the cities which you will give shall be ^(E)from the possession of the children of Israel; ^(F)from the larger tribe you shall give many, from the smaller you shall give few. Each shall give some of its cities to the Levites, in proportion to the inheritance that each receives.”

^39 (A)All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, by their families, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand.

^49 (A)“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel;

^3 (A)For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.

^33 (A)But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, ^(B)as He had said to them.

^14 (A)Only to the tribe of Levi he had given ^[a]no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, ^(B)as He said to them.

The Portion of the Priests and Levites

18 “The priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have ^[a]no part nor ^(A)inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and His portion. ² Therefore they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as He said to them.
