Levi
The tribe of Levi - Levites did not inherit land as the other 11 tribes did. They were to care for the temple and live in towns owned by the other tribes.Numbers 35:8 The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few."
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.
Joshua, the man who led the Israelites into the Promised Land received the inheritance he asked for (see Joshua 19:49-50.)

The first tribe mentioned in the Bible is the tribe of Reuben, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, and his descendants formed one of the foundational tribes of the Israelite people. The tribes of Israel were established from the twelve sons of Jacob, each representing a distinct lineage. Reuben's significance is highlighted in various biblical narratives, including the allocation of land in the Promised Land.
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.

She had different options. She could choose to stay with her husband's tribe (assuming she married someone from a different tribe) and keep their home, etc. Alternatively, she could return to her father's home and if he belonged to a different tribe, she would have to give up her home and land as land was owned by the tribe, not the individual.
The number 450 in the bible represented Israel's inheritance in Canaan. The spies that were sent out to inspect Canaan entered the land exactly 450 days after the Israelite new year had begun from the year previous. When the Israelites left Egypt, they did so on the 15th of Abib, which was 14 days after they had started their new Hebrew calendar. Fast forward 450 days from the beginning of their calender and you have the spies entering the Promised Land to inspect it.

Why 38? Because they had already been in the desert for nearly 2 years, so they were punished with losing a year for every day of the 40 days they had been in Canaan but had refused to have faith and enter into their inheritance. In Joshua 14:9-11, we are told that it took the Israelites another five years to conquer the land and receive their inheritance, which meant that it took a total of 45 years to obtain their inheritance in the Promised Land (starting from their year 0 in Egypt). The Israelites ended up paying 10% down (45 is 10% of 450) on their inheritance in Canaan because of their unbelief. They paid that down in their lives, as none of the unbelievers who followed the report of the 10 evil spies. Therefore, the number 45 and 450 are connected to receiving or being denied ones inheritance.The 450 prophets of Baal had turned the inheritance of the Israelites back into an inheritance for the Canaanites, as Baal was their god his kingdom had turned the Promised Land into a desert. Therefore, just as Joshua and Caleb had to remove the giants and the evil Canaanites from the Promised Land, Elijah had to return to the Promised Land (he was in Canaan for 3.5 years while the land dried up) and cast down those who had restored the old gods to Israel. Once they were destroyed, the rains returned and the land once again became an inheritance unto the Israelites.There are other examples as well, which can be found in the book "Inheritance: the Full Redemption."
The answer you're looking for is "The Tribe of Levi," but it's mistaken. Only the kohanim served the Lord as priests. They were a part of the tribe of Levi, not the complete tribe. The rest of the Levites assisted the kohanim but could not approach the altar or enter the Tabernacle any more than other Israelites.
Yes, in the Bible, Caleb was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan. As a reward for his faithfulness and courage, God promised Caleb and his descendants a portion of the land as their inheritance.
