SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:7
Pero los levitas ninguna parte tienen entre vosotros; porque el sacerdocio del SEÑOR es la heredad de ellos; Gad también y Rubén, y la media tribu de Manasés, ya han recibido su heredad del otro lado del Jordán al oriente, la cual les dio Moisés siervo del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 18:7
Verse 7. The priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance] We have already seen that the priests and Levites had the sacrifices, oblations tithes, first-fruits, redemption-money of the firstborn, &c., for their inheritance; they had no landed possessions in Israel; the LORD was their portion.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. But the Levites have no part among you , etc.] And so needed not to send any men out of their tribe to measure the land on their account, and is a reason why the remaining part of the land was to be divided into seven parts only: for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his inheritance ; not only the office, but what appertained to it, all the perquisites of it, the tithes, firstfruits, parts of the sacrifices, etc. (see Joshua 13:14); and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them ; and so had no share in the division of the land of Canaan, being sufficiently provided for.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 2-10 - After a year or more, Joshua blamed their slackness, and told them ho to proceed. God, by his grace, has given us a title to a good land, the heavenly Canaan, but we are slack to take possession of it; we ente not into that rest, as we might by faith, and hope, and holy joy. Ho long shall it be thus with us? How long shall we thus stand in our ow light, and forsake our own mercies for lying vanities? Joshua stirs the Israelites up to take possession of their lots. He is ready to do his part, if they will do theirs.
