In these chapters the cities given to the Levites, including the cities of refuge, are described.
- Remember that the Levites were to be satisfied with being priests unto God (Joshua 18:7). Nevertheless, they required food and lodging just as much as the other tribes. Those who benefited from the Levitical ministry were to minister to the Levites in their physical needs.
- How many times have we read about these cities of refuge? God wants to make sure that men receive a fair trial. And you can be sure that on judgment day, your trial before God will be fair.
- 48 cities were declared to be Levite cities (Joshua 20:41).
- Joshua 21:43-45. God had kept His promises to the ancestors of Israel, even though they had been unfaithful to Him.
