Cross-References
Then he said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!
(Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning immensely against the Lord.)
for we are about to destroy this place because the outcry against its people is so great before the Lord, that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
The look on their faces testifies against them,and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin;they do not conceal it.Woe to them,for they have brought disaster on themselves.
For the vineyard of the Lord of Armiesis the house of Israel,and the men of Judah,the plant he delighted in.He expected justicebut saw injustice;he expected righteousness,but heard cries of despair.
Though our iniquities testify against us,Lord, act for your name’s sake.Indeed, our rebellions are many;we have sinned against you.
Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Aaron,.... What is said, being what concerned the tribe of Levi, at the head of which Aaron was, even concerning the maintenance of the Levites:
thou shalt have no inheritance in their land; in the land of Israel when they come to possess it, as the rest of the tribes had:
neither shalt thou have any part among them; any part of the land when it is divided by lot, as it was in the times of Joshua, when taken from the Canaanites; no tract of land was peculiarly assigned to them as were to the other tribes, as fields, nor vineyards; they had cities appointed them, and they had houses and fields devoted to the Lord which fell to them, and others they had by gift or legacy, or by purchase, as had Jeremiah the priest and Barnabas the Levite, Jeremiah 32:9 Acts 4:36; but they had no share in the distribution of the land of Canaan at the time of the division of it among the tribes; no, not even in the spoil of the cities of the land of Canaan, when they were conquered; this Maimonides n says they were warned not to take; and a son of Levi that took any part of the spoil was to be beaten; but the spoil of other lands, subdued by the kings of Israel, they might take, as other Israelites did: the reason of all this was, because they had a sufficient provision made for them in another way, and that they might not be entangled in worldly affairs, or spend their time in the culture of fields and vineyards, but wholly give themselves to the service of God in his house:
I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel; in things temporal, the offerings, tithes, firstfruits, c. which were given to the Lord, being bestowed upon them and in things spiritual, they being employed in the work and service of God, and having a peculiar nearness to him, and communion with him: so all that are made priests unto God, as all believers in Christ are, 1 Peter 2:5, have God for their portion and inheritance; God, in his persons and in all his perfections, and under every character, as the God of nature, providence, and grace, is the portion of his people; and a rich, large, and satisfying portion he is, and which is inexhaustible, and will endure for ever; he is their portion in life and at death, in time and to all eternity; see Psalms 73:26.
n Hilchot Shemittah Veyobel, c. 13. sect. 10, 11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 18:20. I am thy part and thine inheritance — The principal part of what was offered to God was the portion of the priests, therefore they had no inheritance of land in Israel; independently of that they had a very ample provision for their support.

1. The flesh of the SIN-OFFERING, whether of beasts or fowls, Leviticus 6:25-26.
2. The flesh of the TRESPASS-OFFERING, Leviticus 7:1; Leviticus 7:6.

1. The heave-offering or FIRST-FRUITS, Numbers 18:12.
2. The heave-offering of the TITHE, Numbers 18:28.
3. The CAKE, Numbers 15:20.
These three were holy.
4. The first-fruits of the FLEECE, Deuteronomy 18:4.

ONE gift was due unto them from the sanctuary: -
1. The skins of the burnt-offering, and all the skins of the other most holy things, Leviticus 7:8.
