Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 18:1

1 THE priests, the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire , and his inheritance .

By which phrase we here manifestly see that he means not burnt-offerings, which were wholly consumed by fire, and no part of them eaten by the Priests, but other Sacrifices, whereof part was offered to the Lord by fire, and part was allotted to the Priests for their food.

(i. e.) The Lords portion or inheritance, which God had reserved to himself, as Tithes and first Fruits, and other oblations distinct from those which were made by fire, and so these two branches make up the whole of that which belonged to God, and was by him given to the Levites.
