John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 13:14

He gave — That is, Moses. None inheritance — Namely, in the land beyond Jordan, where yet a considerable part of the Levites were to have their settled abode. This is mentioned as the reason both why Moses gave all that land to the Reubenites and Gadites and Manassites; and why Joshua should divide the land only into nine parts and an half, as was said, Joshua 13:7, because Levi was otherwise provided for. Made by fire — Which are here put for all the sacrifices and oblations, including first — fruits and tithes, that were assigned to the Levites; and this passage is repeated, to prevent those calumnies and injuries which God foresaw the Levites were likely to meet with, from the malice, envy and covetousness of their brethren.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Joshua 13:14

Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] (e) their inheritance, as he said unto them.

(e) Levi will live by the sacrifices, (Numbers 18:21).
