The writer speaks of the great honor that the Levites had by serving Yahweh as priests as if the offerings were something that they would inherit. Alternate translation: "The offerings of Yahweh ... are what they will have for their provision" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# offerings of Yahweh
"offerings that the people were to bring to Yahweh"
# made by fire
