# Connecting Statement:

The writer finishes explaining why the tribe of Levi has no inheritance in the land. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])

# no portion nor inheritance of land

The tribe of Levi did not receive a portion of the promised land when they arrived there. The full meaning of this statement may be made explicit. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Yahweh is his inheritance

Yahweh speaks of the special relationship that Aaron and his descendants will have with him as if Yahweh were something that they will inherit. Alternate translation: "Yahweh is what they will have" or "Yahweh will allow them to serve him and he will provide for them through that service"

# Yahweh your God

Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the word "your" here is singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])

# spoke to him

"spoke to the tribe of Levi"
