Exegesis
Finally, the prohibition lo yinchalu nachalah {לֹא יִנְחֲלוּ נַחֲלָה | lōʾ yi-nḥa-lû na-ḥā-lā(h)} ‘they shall not inherit an inheritance’ uses a noun-verb repetition for emphasis, defining lasting exclusion from land allotments.
In context — Numbers 18:23
But the Levite —he himself—shall carry out the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their guilt. This is an everlasting statute for your generations. And among the sons of Israel they shall not inherit an inheritance.
