Moses had given the two and a half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan, but hadn't given an inheritance to the Levites, as he had to the others.

Contextual Overview
1 These are the lands which the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan. They were given to them as a gift by Eleazar the religious leader, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the families of the people of Israel. 2 Their share was decided upon by drawing names, as the Lord told Moses, for the nine families and the half-family group. 3 For Moses had given land to the two families and the half-family group east of the Jordan. But he did not give land to the Levites among them. 4 Because the sons of Joseph were two families, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they did not give part of the land to the Levites. They only gave them cities to live in, with fields for their animals and whatever they had. 5 The people of Israel did just as the Lord had told Moses. They divided the land.
