📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of a detailed record of cities assigned to the Levites (the priestly tribe) throughout Israel's territories. Since the Levites didn't receive a large tribal inheritance like the other tribes, they were given specific cities scattered throughout Israel where they could live and serve God. These cities came with surrounding pasturelands to support their families and livestock.
