If it would appear in your language that the author was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “The only portion that they gave to the Levites in the land was cities for dwelling and their pasturelands for their livestock and property”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וְלֹֽא נָתְנוּ֩ חֵ֨לֶק לַלְוִיִּ֜ם
and=not given portion to_the,Levites
Here, they is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a different expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “And the Levites were given no portion”
14:4 Joseph, the elder son of Jacob’s favorite wife Rachel, received a double portion of land through his sons Manasseh and Ephraim (see study note on Gen 48:5-7). Because the Levites did not receive a separate tribal territory (Josh 13:14), the total number of tribes with land remained at twelve.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
