Numbers 18:19

"Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours."

Key Reflection

This verse indicates that the Levites, despite not receiving land like the other tribes, would receive a portion of the sacrifices as their inheritance. This arrangement symbolizes how God provides for His priests through the offerings of the community, ensuring they have what they need even without a share in the land.
