Joshua 21:1-3 Then came near the heads of the fathers of
the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto
the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel; And they
spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by
the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for
our cattle. And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their
inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
There were twelve tribes of Israel. But God gave Joseph’s two sons their own
portion. That made thirteen. But the tribe of Levi had the responsibility of
the Tabernacle and the job of teaching and preaching to the people, so they
didn’t get any land. But the Levites did get houses to live in and pastureland
for their cattle that was nearby. The Levites stayed in the city to minister to
the ir people abd God took care of their needs.
