This verse is part of a detailed record of cities assigned to the Levitical priests and their families when the Israelites settled in the Promised Land. Since the Levites didn't receive a large tribal territory like the other tribes, they were given specific cities scattered throughout Israel along with pasturelands for their livestock. Kedemoth and Mephaath were located in the territory east of the Jordan River.
