Commentators note that this verse reaffirms a principle from the Law of Moses (Numbers 18:20): the priests were not to own land. Their material needs were met through the tithes and offerings dedicated to God. This system ensured their focus remained on their sacred duties and their dependence was on God, not on earthly wealth.
