Territories for the Levites

⁵⁷So the descendants of Aaron were given Hebron (a city of refuge), Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa, ⁵⁸Hilen, Debir, ⁵⁹Ashan, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, together with their pasturelands.

Summary

This verse lists the Levitical cities that were given to the Kohathite clan from the tribe of Levi. These cities served as dwelling places for the Levites who were responsible for the service of the tabernacle and later the temple. The allocation of these cities highlights the importance of providing for the spiritual needs of the Levites who dedicated their lives to the worship and service of God. It also demonstrates God's faithfulness in ensuring that His ministers were cared for and had a place to fulfill their duties in service to Him.
