Deuteronomy 10:9

Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

Wherefore Levi {H3878} hath no part {H2506} nor inheritance {H5159} with his brethren {H251}; the LORD {H3068} is his inheritance {H5159}, according as the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} promised {H1696} him.

This is why Levi has no share or inheritance with his brothers; ADONAI is his inheritance, as ADONAI your God had said to him.

That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.

Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.)
