John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 2. Therefore shall they have none inheritance among their brethren , etc.] Neither of the field, nor of the vineyard, as the above Targum, because provision was made for them otherwise, and especially because the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them , (see Gill on “ Numbers 18:20”), which as it may be understood in a spiritual sense of their interest in God, as their covenant God, and of their enjoyment of him, and communion with him; so chiefly in a temporal sense of all those things in the sacrifices which the Lord claimed to himself, and these he gave unto them; so the same Targum interprets this of the twenty four gifts of the priesthood, enumerated ( Numbers 18:1-32).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Care is taken that the priests entangle not themselves with the affair of this life, nor enrich themselves with the wealth of this world; the have better things to mind. Care is likewise taken that they want no 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 suc assemblies.
