Verse 1 is found in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy. The priests and Levites do not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes because their inheritance is service to the Lord. They receive portions of sacrifices and offerings for their support. The passage establishes that those devoted to worship must be sustained by the community and that priestly service constitutes a specific vocation within Israel.

Die Priester, die Leviten des ganzen Stammes Levi, sollen nicht Teil noch Erbe haben mit Israel. Die Opfer des HERRN und sein Erbteil sollen sie essen.
Los sacerdotes Levitas, toda la tribu de Leví, no tendrán parte ni heredad con Israel; de las ofrendas encendidas a Jehová, y de la heredad de él comerán.
Les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, la tribu entière de Lévi, n'auront ni part ni héritage avec Israël; ils se nourriront des sacrifices consumés par le feu en l'honneur de l'Eternel et de l'héritage de l'Eternel.
NON abbiano i sacerdoti Leviti, anzi tutta la tribù di Levi, nè parte, nè eredità con Israele; vivano dell’offerte che si fanno per fuoco al Signore, e della sua eredità.
OS sacerdotes levitas, toda a tribo de Levi, não terão parte nem herança com Israel; das ofertas queimadas do SENHOR e da sua herança comerão.
