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
In the biblical narrative, after the Israelites conquered and settled in the Promised Land, they followed God's commands to allocate specific cities and surrounding lands to the Levites, who were the priestly tribe and did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes. This distribution was part of the larger process of dividing the land as outlined in earlier books like Numbers, ensuring the Levites had provisions for their families and livestock while they focused on religious duties. The method of casting lots was used to determine assignments, reflecting a reliance on divine will for fairness in the allocation.
