Sebab orang Lewi tidak mendapat bagian di tengah-tengah kamu, karena jabatan sebagai imam TUHAN ialah milik pusaka mereka, sedang suku Gad, suku Ruben dan suku Manasye yang setengah itu telah menerima milik pusaka di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yang diberikan kepada mereka oleh Musa, hamba TUHAN."
Karena orang Lewi itu tiada beroleh bahagian di antara kamu, melainkan imamat yang dari pada Tuhan itulah bahagian pusaka mereka itu, maka suku Gad dan Rubin dan setengah suku Manasye itupun telah mengambil bahagian pusakanya di seberang Yarden pada sebelah timur, yang telah diberikan oleh Musa, hamba Tuhan itu, kepadanya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the Levites have no part among you,.... 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, c. 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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 18:7. 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.
