“For the Levites have no portion among you because the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance.” (Joshua 18:7)
The Levites were not given land like the other tribes. They were the tribe of the priesthood, and though given cities to live in, were wholly dependent upon the contribution of the nation to the Lord’s work to live off of.
The Levites had to learn to trust the Lord’s provision so that they would then teach the rest of the nation to trust Him, too. The Levites were to teach faith by living faith. How we live will either strengthen or undermine our words with those we wish to influence.
