in the previous section the torah
outlines the detailed work and service
for
the tribe of levi the koanim providing
the primary service
for the mishkan and eventually the
temple the bitter dash
and then the livim to guard and to
assist them in all of their
needs and duties and then in the
previous section it ended off with
telling us
exactly what the kohanim deserved and
were given by the jewish people as
produce
and as livestock to support them
the beginning of this section the torah
goes and tells us what the
gifts and the reward was for the
liviem not the quranim rather the levine
what produce and livestock
they deserved and they got being that
they were the ones working in the
veterinarian the question is is
why is it that the jewish people were
obligated and commanded to by kalash
baruch
to support the koanim and the living so
we have to understand
that ever since the egypt the sin of the
golden calf
that the tribe of levy they were ones
that absolutely took
no part in that sin at all they were the
first ones to come to
to to moshe when he said mila shemilah
who is going to be for hashem please
come forth
because of that the living were elevated
they were set aside for a specific task
and that task was to serve
in the mishkan and the bitter mikdash
which was hashem's place to reside
in a physical yet spiritual way in this
world since that was their task along
with them being the leaders and the
educators of the nation
they were the ones who typically learned
and taught torah to the entire nation
they had a specific goal and mission and
akatosh
did not want them to detract from that
mission and from that duty that they now
possessed
having said that when akadosh baruch
commanded moshe
and eventually yoshua to split up the
land
he split it up only in 12 portions
levy not getting even one part of that
rather yosef's tribes yosef's two
children and shenafran each received
their own
portion having said that the tribe of
levi now was left without any land
without any land
again so they were not able to work the
land so they would not be distracted
from their goal
and their mission since they had no land
and since they were always occupied
either
with the service of the bethamitas or in
teaching and educating or leading the
jewish people
hashem commanded for the jewish people
all the tribes
to gives the give their trumat masrot
their bikurim all different types of
fruits and vegetables
and livestock to the kohanim and the
levine
to support them again that was what they
were said
to do the konami living who made sure
they'd be taken care of by the rest of
the nation
