But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
Pero los levitas no reciben tierra entre ustedes, porque servir como sacerdotes del SEÑOR es su herencia. Y las tribus de Gad, Rubén y la mitad de la tribu de Manasés ya recibieron su tierra al lado oriental del río Jordán, que Moisés el siervo del SEÑOR les dio.
Los levitas no reciben tierra porque su herencia es servir como sacerdotes, mientras que Gad, Rubén y media tribu de Manasés ya tienen su territorio al este del Jordán.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurs during the division of the Promised Land among the twelve tribes of Israel after their conquest of Canaan. The Levites were set apart as the priestly tribe, responsible for temple worship and religious duties, so they received cities scattered throughout other tribes' territories instead of a large consolidated region. The tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of Manasseh had requested and received permission from Moses to settle on the fertile land east of the Jordan River before the main conquest began.
