Haydock's commentary
Double portion. Literally, "cord." (Haydock)
His two sons would each have a share, as Levi was better provided for. (Worthington)
He had no portion of the land assigned to him by Josue, but here one part is appointed (Calmet) for the sacred ministers and the prince, chap. xlv. 1.
