and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.

but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to Jehovah, a heave-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, In the midst of the sons of Israel they have no inheritance.'
