This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab across the Jordan east of Jericho. But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them. - Joshua 13:32 NIV
The tribe of Levi, the priests and all of those set aside to take care of the tabernacle and the worship of the Lord, received no inheritance. God, the Lord God of Israel was to be their only inheritance. They were provided for, but owned nothing. They were caretakers and were dependent on their own caretaker. If, under the new covenant, our body is the temple and we are the priests, should we be content with the same thing?
