Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹֽא־יִ֠הְיֶה לַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֨ים הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֜ם כָּל־שֵׁ֧בֶט לֵוִ֛י חֵ֥לֶק וְ⁠נַחֲלָ֖ה עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

not will_belong for_the,priests the,Levitical all/each/any/every tribe Lēvīh portion and,inheritance with Yisrael

The implication is that the Levites will not receive any portion or inheritance of land so that they cannot grow or raise their own food. See Numbers 18:20 for more information. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: “All the tribe of Levi will not own a portion of land”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

לַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֨ים הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֜ם כָּל־שֵׁ֧בֶט לֵוִ֛י

for_the,priests the,Levitical all/each/any/every tribe Lēvīh

All priests come from the tribe of Levi and are therefore Levites. This does not mean that the Levites and priests are separate groups of people. Additionally, not all Levites of the tribe of Levi are priests. Be sure that this distinction is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “People from the tribe of Levi who serve as priests, and the rest of the Levites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

Yisrael

Here, Israel represents all the people of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the rest of the Israelites”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אִשֵּׁ֧י יְהוָ֛ה

sacrifices YHWH

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe a gift that Israelites would offer to Yahweh. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a comparable expression for describing an offering. Alternate translation: “the food that the other Israelites give in sacrifice to Yahweh”
