📚 Historical Context

This passage is part of a larger section detailing how the Levites (the priestly tribe) were given cities throughout Israel since they didn't receive a large territorial inheritance like the other tribes. Instead of farming their own land, the Levites were supported by the other tribes and focused on religious duties, temple service, and teaching God's law to the people.
