Joshua 21

This chapter appears to wrap up the division of the promised land by covering the cities assigned to the Levites. They were not given any large tracts of land, as they were to do the Lord's work, but they were given places to live and some minimal grazing land for their flocks. In total they had forty-eight cities, including five of the six cities of refuge. I'm rather surprised that they didn't have all six refuge cities, since that seems like it would be fitting for the priestly tribe, but oh well :)
