Portion for Levites and Priests
In making provisions for His flock, the Lord made provision for the sheep as well as the shepherd.  And so it was the Lord having lead the children to the land of Canaan made provisions for them by giving them portions of the land by tribes and families, but also promised to bless them and their crops and their flocks by sending rain from haven in its seasons and otherwise guiding and protecting them provided they heeded His voice and kept His commandments.

So now, He made provisions for the Levites and priests who had no portion of the land from among the rest of the people.  Thus says the Lord, “The Levitical priests, that is all the tribe of Levi shall have no part or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offering made to the Lord by fire. They shall have no inheritance among their brethren for the Lord is their inheritance. And this shall be the priests due among the people who offer a sacrifice whether it be an ox or a sheep; they shall give unto the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach. Also the first fruit of the grain and the oil and also the fleece of the sheep shall be given to them. For the Lord Himself has chosen them to stand before Him to minister as his servants, the priests and their sons forever.
