Summary

In Joshua 21:22, we see the fulfillment of God's promise to provide rest and inheritance for the Levites among the other tribes of Israel. This verse highlights the faithfulness of God in keeping His word and providing for the needs of His people. The Levites, who were dedicated to serving in the tabernacle, received cities and pasturelands as their portion, demonstrating God's care for those who serve Him. Joshua 21:22 serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and provision, encouraging believers to trust in His promises and rely on His provision in their lives.
