Reading for October 28th

Read Joshua 21.1-45
In 21.1-45: Cities of 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.
In verses 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 those of priestly descent.
In verses 13-19: The thirteen towns for the descendants of Aaron reflect an order source list.
The other three lists were created by collecting names from Joshua 13, 16-17, 19, and 20.
In verse 32: Because the source list (vv. 13-19) contained thirteen towns, Naphtali contributes only three towns instead of the usual four in order to achieve the ideal total of forty-eight (v. 41).
In verses 43-45: All has been achieved (v. 43) and all promises fulfilled (v. 45).
Rest on every side (v. 44) mans war has been replaced by peace (1.13, 15; 22.4).
