Context

Forty-Eight Cities for the Levites

¹⁴Jattir, Eshtemoa,¹⁵Holon, Debir,¹⁶Ain, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh—nine cities from these two tribes, together with their pasturelands.

Summary

Joshua 21:15 describes the city of Holon, which was one of the cities given to the Levites as a possession. This verse is part of the allocation of cities to the Levites, who were set apart for the service of the Lord and did not receive a traditional inheritance of land like the other tribes of Israel. The distribution of cities to the Levites highlights the importance of providing for those dedicated to the work of the Lord and serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to His people.
