2 They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them.
2 But they don't get land-inheritance like the rest of their kinsmen. God is their inheritance.
2 Therefore they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as He said to them.
2 They will have no land of their own among the Israelites. The Lord himself is their special possession, just as he promised them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 18:2
Commentary on Deuteronomy 18:1-8
(Read Deuteronomy 18:1-8)
Care is taken that the priests entangle not themselves with the affairs of this life, nor enrich themselves with the wealth of this world; they have better things to mind. Care is likewise taken that they want not the comforts and conveniences of this life. The people must provide for them. He that has the benefit of solemn religious assemblies, ought to give help for the comfortable support of those that minister in such assemblies.
