Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:9

Theological / Devotional

Hath no part. Inasmuch as the Levites were “separated” to sacred service (verse 8) they could not earn a living by engaging in the more common pursuits. For this reason they were assigned no tribal territory, except for certain cities scattered throughout the other tribes (Numbers 18:20; Joshua 13:14, 33 ; 18:7).

His inheritance. The meaning of this expression is found in chapters 2-4. The tribe of Levi was to receive a share in the sacred offerings brought to Jehovah by the congregation.
