Josh. 21:1–41 In Num. 35:1–8, the Lord commanded through Moses that 48 cities (including the six cities of refuge) be assigned to the Levites. Taking cities and their pasturelands from each of the tribes would scatter the Levites throughout the whole of Israel (see Gen. 49:7) so that they could fulfill their duties of teaching the Israelites. They were grouped by their relation to one of Levi’s three sons (see Gen. 46:11). The Kohathites (Josh. 21:4), from whom Aaron and his line descended (Ex. 6:16–20), received cities in the center and the south. The Gershonites (Josh. 21:6) and Merarites (v. 7) received cities in the north and east.
Josh. 21:43–45 These verses should be understood as a summary statement emphasizing the Lord’s decisive action on behalf of Israel. They are not saying that all of Israel’s enemies had been removed from the land. Although Israel had taken possession of the land and settled there, much work remained to be done (see 23:5). Still, the Lord has been utterly true to his good promises.
