Commentary on Deuteronomy 18:8

Theological / Devotional

Like portions. He was to share equally in all dues received.

His patrimony. What was his of the gifts that the people brought he might keep wholly for himself. The priests were free to buy and sell property (1 Kings 2:26; Jer. 32:7, 8). Upon inheriting his father’s estate, a son would be under no obligation to share it with other priests at Jerusalem (see Lev. 25:33).
