We read in Joshua 13:14, that the tribe of Levi was not given an inheritance. Originally, the tribe of Levi was sentenced to be landless for its violent behaviour (Genesis 49:5-7), but later the Levites redeemed themselves (Exodus 32:25-28) and were promised a blesssing (Deuteronomy 33:8-11). Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh were adopted by Israel as his own and eached received a land portion and would have made it 13 tribes. But since Levi had no land portion, there were only 12 tribes per the land distribution. Yet, in each of the cities in the territiories of the tribes, the Levites had land but most importantly, they inherited the sacrifices of God - a priveledged inheritance.

Who named the book of Leviticus?
Moses, He wrote the first 5 books of the bible. But, God could have told him to name it Leviticus.Answer:The naming of the "books" of the Bible evidently began when the scriptures began to be "translated" into other languages. None of the originally inspired works sported "chapters, verses nor book titles."Leviticus would have merely been a logical choice for the translators, since the book is replete with the laws and holy observances of God, the ministry of which was the responsibility of the Levites [the descendants of the tribe of Levi].God separated the Levites from the rest of the tribes of Israel for the specific purpose of administering His laws and judgments among the people. [Num.18:20-24]"At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto Him, and to bless His name, unto this day. Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised him." (Deut.10:8-9)It's only logical, therefore, that the book of the laws that the Levites administered to the Lord among the people should bear their name.
How many times is Palestine mentioned in the Old Testament?
A:Palestine is not mentioned by name in the Old Testament. This was a name given to the Levant region by Greek merchants around the middle of the first millennium. They had met the Philistines along the coastal region which they occupied, from around the present city of Tel Aviv all the way to the Egyptian border. Unaware that a different nation - Judah - existed further inland, they termed the entire region 'Palestine'. The Bible does refer to that part of Palestine from the Dead Sea northwards as Canaan, although this also included part of Philistia. The land of the Canaanites, or at least the inland region, was settled by the Hebrew people and was given the names Israel and Judah.

Which tribe of ancient Israel was dedicated to serve the Lord as priests?
The tribe of Levi was dedicated to serving the Lord as priests. They were chosen by God to carry out the religious duties in the tabernacle and later the temple, including offering sacrifices and conducting rituals. The Levites did not receive a land inheritance like the other tribes, as their inheritance was the service of the Lord.

What tribe of Israel is Tzipi Livni descended from?
The only tribe of Israel that retains some form of identity is the Tribe of Levi, of which the Cohens are a part. This is the tribe from which the Priests and their assistants came, and members of that group still have ceremonial functions in Jewish religious services. Therefore, for most modern Jews, if they cannot say they are Cohanim or Levites, they are unable to say what tribe they descend from.
Does the tribe of Levi still exist?
Yes, the tribe of Levi, like the smaller Levitical family of the Cohanim, still exists. There are are lots of people who have the surnames Levy, Levi, Lev, Levitan, Levitas, Segal, Cohen, Katz, Kahn, Kahan, Kagan, etc. who are still identifiable as part of that tribe.Answer:The Tribe of Levi has the distinction of being the only one which is clearly identifiable today.The great majority of Jews today, some 80% or so, are descended from the tribe of Judah (plus converts and descendants of converts). The remaining 20% include Levites (from the tribe of Levi), Cohanim (also a part of the Levites), the entire Tribe of Benjamin, and a small percentage from every one of the remaining tribes. (When the Ten Tribes were carried off into Assyria and didn't return, a few of them had already mixed into the tribe of Judah before that, through marriage. Also, the Talmud relates [Megillah 14b] that, one century after the Ten Tribes were exiled [and their location was still known], Jeremiah journeyed to where they were and brought some of them back to Judea. Thus, today's Jewry includes a small percentage of every one of the Lost Tribes. See for example the Talmud, Pesachim 4a.)
Which tribe of Israel received cities?
No tribe of Israel "received" cities. The Tribe of Levi was required to live in the cities of the various other tribally-allocated territories in order to perform the requisite religious rituals. They were forbidden from owning any land, requiring them to sustain themselves on the part of the sacrifices that it was permissible to consume.
