Therefore, Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; G-d is his inheritance, as G-d your G-d spoke to him. &#8220;These verses teach that the tribe of Levi was chosen by G-d for a special spiritual purpose: to perform sacred service, to stand before G-d, and to bless in His name. In return, they received no land inheritance, as G-d Himself is their &#8220;portion and inheritance.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maimonides, in his Laws of Shemitah and Yovel (Chapter 13, Halacha 13), expands upon this idea: &#8220;Not only the tribe of Levi, but every single person in all of humanity whose spirit moves them, and whose intellect leads them to separate themselves to stand before G-d to serve Him and to know Him, and who walks uprightly as G-d made them, and casts off the yoke of the many worldly calculations that people seek\u2014behold, this person is sanctified as holy of holies, and G-d will be his portion and inheritance forever and ever\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maimonides set the destiny of the Levites as a spiritual model that every person in all of humanity can adopt. Anyone who chooses to separate themselves from material pursuits, to serve G-d, and to seek closeness to Him becomes &#8220;holy of holies,&#8221; similar to the tribe of Levi. In such a case, G-d becomes their portion and inheritance, and they are provided with their needs in this world, just as was promised to the Levites. The phrase &#8220;all of humanity&#8221; carries a broad significance: it refers not only to Jews from all tribes but also includes Noahides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Maimonides, a non-Jew who wishes to dedicate themselves and serve the Creator with a spirit similar to that of the tribe of Levi can fulfill this supreme spiritual destiny by being a Noahide, can merit sanctification and be connected directly to the Holy One, Blessed be He.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Door Rabbijn Moshe Bernstein<\/strong><br><br><br><br><strong>Als je meer vragen wilt om over na te denken,&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sukkatshalom-bneinoach.com\/nl\/category\/rabbi-burton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BEKIJK DE ANDERE BLOGS VAN RABBI MOSHE BERNSTEIN  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, alle rechten voorbehouden.
