The presumptuous prophet is to die The Levitical priests The term "Levitical priests" refers to the descendants of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. The Levites were set apart for religious duties and service to God. Historically, the tribe of Levi was chosen by God to perform the sacred duties of the tabernacle and later the temple. This special designation underscores the importance of holiness and dedication in serving God. The Hebrew root for "Levitical" is "לֵוִי" (Levi), which means "joined" or "attached," signifying their unique role in being joined to God’s service. indeed, the whole tribe of Levi shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel They shall eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD for that is their inheritance THE PBIESTS' DUE. (1) The priests the Levites, (and) all the tribe of Levi.--The fact that there is no "and" here in the original, and the look of the sentence in English, might dispose a superficial reader to find some ground here for the theory that priest and Levite are not distinguished in Deuteronomy. No such idea occurred to Rashi. He says, "all the tribe of Levi, not only those that are perfect (who can serve), but those who have a blemish (and cannot)." The distinction between priest and Levite has already been sufficiently noted on Deuteronomy 11:6; Deuteronomy 17:9. The passage is evidently on the same lines with Numbers 18:18-21, which see. (3) The shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.--This would be from the peace offering. The shoulder is assigned to them in Leviticus 7:32-33 (comp. Numbers 18:18). The "two cheeks and the maw" are not mentioned elsewhere, and the latter word is found in this place only. They are not a valuable part of the sacrifice. An absurd reason for the gift is assigned by Rashi. We know that in the time of Eli, the priests varied their requirements at pleasure, and in the face of the law (see 1Samuel 2:13). The "priests' due "here, and "the priests' custom" there, are the same word in Hebrew, which we have elsewhere translated "requirement." . . . Verse 1. - The priests the Levites, the whole tribe of Levi; i.e. the whole tribe of Levi, including both the priests and the general body of the Levites. They shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire. "The offerings of the Lord made by fire" (literally, the fires or firings of Jehovah), here referred to, were the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass effusing (cf. Numbers 18:9). And his inheritance; i.e. of Jehovah, what was appropriated to him, and from him to the tribe of Levi, such as tithes, firstlings, and firstfruits.Parallel Commentaries ...
