And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Los israelitas dieron estas ciudades y sus pastizales alrededor a los levitas echando suertes, tal como el SEÑOR había ordenado por medio de Moisés.
Los israelitas obedecieron el mandato de Dios distribuyendo ciudades a los levitas por sorteo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Levites were one of the twelve tribes of Israel, but unlike the other tribes, they didn't receive a large territory of their own. Instead, God commanded that they be given specific cities scattered throughout the other tribes' lands, since their primary role was to serve in religious duties and teach God's law. This distribution happened after the Israelites had conquered and settled in the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership.
