Joshua 21:1-3



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 their people and God took care of their needs.
