the portions Moses had given them on the plains of Moab

on Joshua 13:32-33

The chapter ends where verse 14 began. Verse 14 gives Levi the offerings made by fire, and verse 33 gives Levi the LORD, the God of Israel, as its inheritance. Numbers 18:20 stands behind both, and Deuteronomy 10:9 says it again to the whole nation.

proposed

If they had been appointed to a lot entire by themselves, Moses would have served them first, not because it was his own tribe, but because it was God's; but they must be provided for in another manner; their habitations must be scattered in all the tribes, and their maintenance brought out of all the tribes, and God himself was the portion both of their inheritance and of their cup, Deut. x.

Which Moses did distribute - Moses had settled every thing relative to these tribes before his death, having appointed them to possess the territories of Og king of Bashan, and Sihon king of the Amorites.
