Study

       

1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 1. The Divine good of love to the Lord, and the aspirations after genuine good derived therefrom, and all the holy impulses of charity from the Lord, (or rather the faculties receptive of them in the human mind), are not supplied with good and truth from external study as is the spiritual mind, or that part of the soul which is receptive of truth; they are recruited by the influx of love from the Lord into the soul, and derive their support direct from Him.
