Read Joshua 21.1-19: In 21.1-42: Cities for the Levites. In verse 2: Although Levi receives no allotment for agriculture, the tribe is assigned residence towns and grazing land. For this command, see Num 35.2-8. Inverse 4-7: The Levitical cities appear in four divisions. Levi was divided into three clans, and the Kohathites were further subdivided into the descendants of Aaron (v. 4; the priests) and and those not of the priestly descent. In verses 13-19: The thirteen towns for the descendants of Aaron reflect an older source list. The other three lists were created by collecting names from Joshua 13.16-17, 19, and 20.
