Exegesis
The negated verbal clause lo-natan {לֹא־נָתַן | lō-nāṯan} places the denial (“did not give”) directly before the subject Moshe {מֹשֶׁה | mō-šeh}, emphasizing the absence of a land-inheritance for this tribe.
Root and etymology
נ־ת־ן
“to give, grant”
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.
