‘It shall be, in regard to inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.’ (Ezekiel 44:28)
This is referring to the future priests of Israel, the Sons of Zadok. Originally, the Levites were the priestly tribe an they were given no land like all the other tribes, but instead their inheritance was God. They were to offer the offerings and sacrifices, and fulfill the temple duties. And thus it is with the future priests. It reminds us that in this life, God is our inheritance. We cannot expect anything else to be our inheritance. We cannot expect to gain anything worthwhile from this life other than God. This is a humbling thought, but one that takes us far.
