Exegesis
The construct chain ish-shei YHWH {אִשֵּׁי יְהוָה | ʾiššê Yəhôwāh} ‘fire-offerings of the LORD’ and ve-nachalato {וְנַחֲלָת֖וֹ | wənəḥălātô} ‘and his inheritance’ function as coordinated direct objects of yokhelun {יֹאכֵלֽוּן | yōḵēlûn} ‘they shall eat’, linking Levitical provision directly to covenantal sacrifice.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:1
The Levitical priests—the entire tribe of Levi—shall have no share or inherited allotment with Israel; they shall eat the fire-offerings presented to the LORD as their inheritance .
