Exegesis
The closing comparative clause kaasher dibber lahem {כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָהֶם | ka-ʾă-šer dibbēr lā-hem} grounds the assertion in prior divine speech, presenting the Levites’ distinctive “inheritance” as authorized by promise rather than by geography.
In context — Joshua 13:33
And to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD , the God of Israel , is their inheritance, just as He spoke to them.
