⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

This verse shows God ensuring that the Levite priests received specific cities and lands to live in, demonstrating His care for those who served Him.

📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of the detailed record of how the Levites (the priestly tribe) were given cities throughout Israel since they didn't receive a large territory like the other tribes. The Kohathites were one of three main Levite family groups, and this describes the final cities allocated to them from the tribe of Manasseh, which was split between land east and west of the Jordan River.
