That is the error that might cause a misunderstanding - the literal interpretation of that verse among Christian pastors anyway. It took the teachings of a Pastor Brett COSTIGAN at Freedom Kingdom Church to walk me through this lesson. This pastor is unique in that he has a degree in economics/history and also teaches grade school. Think about that combination for a moment - economics and he knows how to explain things simply.
He also taught the same literal explanation; that
the Levites inherited the execution of the priesthood on the Temple/Tabernacle. To get this think of:
city of Washington, District of Columbia
That is the exact spelling and punctuation when found in a sentence in the Public Laws.
Then understand in the same Judiciary Act of 1789 we find the 'saving to suitors' clause is formation of the Districts - out in the states. There is a municipal structure and jurisdiction overlaid upon the states that took up the obligations and debts of the United States in 1790. It has been this way since. It is a city (noun in general) and a District (noun in specific).
Here is the actual inheritance of the Levites:
I have counted 77 cities there. METRO organization. Trust Guy recovered a prelude to the sentiment discovering METRO 1313 in his attic the other day and shared it on another thread here - thanks again! Here is another angle:

On SJC a fellow hired me to go collect some materials from the
Municipal League collection in Denver and that may develop into a whole new thread of how METRO organization - City of XXXXXX took over American politics in the 1950's and was protested much against as socialism. I have a gob on that to show but would rather the reader look into this and decide if we have a discrepancy in doctrine, MJ and I and if so which way to pursue.
Therefore you might spend some more time listening to Brett as he taught a couple years back at Freedom Kingdom. One reason is that while I cannot agree with everything he says, he was blowing my mind as he taught from the pulpit in front of a few thousand parishioners - but for that reason, his career as pastor came to an abrupt end!
The discrepancy delineates whether the priesthood is Brett's "coiling serpent of debt" or not. Feeling that the Levites got no inheritance in the land tends to strike in the mind of the Christians that the priesthood is a good thing arising from good relations with God whereas there was no communal blood-letting of animal sacrifices prior to the Golden Calf Orgy - which would be the first money in a sense. [Gold has no use in history but to be shiny and pounded into foil and wrapped around idols. It is too soft for weapons and tools, yet it does not oxidize and lose its visual lustre.] The Levites in other words were created to save Israel because God was going to destroy the People. The Priesthood was created to monetize sin - the first Income Tax was that an Israelite would have to periodically destroy his most perfect and first fruits in a useless bloodletting to the God of Abraham. This is the perspective I have developed anyway, from realizing Brett's error - that the Levites had no inheritance in the Land - true to scripture but they inherited the cities! - Global municipality. [City of Babylon.] Entering fiat with that Trust - 1861 - and claiming it to be of God - IN GOD WE TRUST was a slippery slope that led to elastic currency in 1913.
I will attempt to connect fuller teachings from Brett's Wisdom House later.
