Jehovah said that he was to be their share in the sense that rather than receiving a land inheritance, they were entrusted with a priceless privilege of service.
قَالَ يَهْوَهُ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ نَصِيبَهُمْ ،‏ بِمَعْنَى أَنَّهُ أَوْكَلَ إِلَيْهِمِ ٱمْتِيَازَ خِدْمَةٍ لَا يُقَدَّرُ بِثَمَنٍ بَدَلَ أَنْ يَنَالُوا مِيرَاثَ أَرْضٍ .‏
