For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Los descendientes de José se habían convertido en dos tribus separadas: Manasés y Efraín. Así que no dieron a los levitas ninguna porción de la tierra misma, excepto ciudades para vivir junto con los pastizales circundantes para su ganado y posesiones.
Los levitas no recibieron territorio propio, sino solo ciudades con pastizales para vivir y mantener su ganado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
When the Israelites divided the Promised Land, the twelve sons of Jacob formed the basis for tribal territories. However, the Levites were set apart as priests and didn't receive land inheritance like the other tribes. To maintain twelve portions, Joseph's two sons (Ephraim and Manasseh) each became separate tribes, as Jacob had blessed them to be equal with his own sons.
