📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of a detailed record of cities allocated to the Levitical priests and their families when Israel settled in the Promised Land. The Levites didn't receive a large territory like other tribes, but instead were given specific cities scattered throughout Israel where they could live and serve God while ministering to the people. The 'suburbs' or pasturelands were essential for the Levites to graze their cattle and livestock.
