Joshua 21:3-8
unto the Levites Gen 49:7; Deut 33:8-10; 1Chr 6:54-81 the children Josh 21:8-19, Josh 24:33; 1Chr 6:54-60 the tribe These tribes furnished more habitation to the Levites, in proportion, than any of the other tribes, because they possessed a more extensive inheritance, agreeably to what Moses had commanded (Num 35:8). It is worthy of remark, that the principal part of this tribe, whose business was to minister at the sanctuary, which sanctuary was afterwards established at Jerusalem, had their appointment nearest to that city; so that they were always within reach of the sacred work which God had appointed them.
