Forty-eight cities given by lot, out of the other tribes unto the Levites.43. God gives the land, and rest unto the Israelites, according to his promise From the tribes of Judah and Simeon This phrase highlights the allocation of cities to the Levites from the tribes of Judah and Simeon. Historically, Judah was one of the most prominent tribes, known for its leadership and strength, as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 49:8-12. Simeon, on the other hand, was a smaller tribe whose inheritance was within the territory of Judah (Joshua 19:1). The Levites, who were set apart for priestly duties, did not receive a large contiguous territory like the other tribes but were given cities within these tribal lands. This arrangement ensured that the Levites were dispersed throughout Israel, allowing them to fulfill their spiritual and educational roles among all the tribes. they designated these cities by name Hebrew From the tribesמִמַּטֵּה֙ (mim·maṭ·ṭêh) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct Strong's 4294: A staff, rod, shaft, branch, a tribe of Judah יְהוּדָ֔ה (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites and Simeon, שִׁמְע֑וֹן (šim·‘ō·wn) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 8095: Simeon -- a son of Jacob, also his tribe, also an Israelite with a foreign wife they designated וַֽיִּתְּנ֗וּ (way·yit·tə·nū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural Strong's 5414: To give, put, set these הָאֵ֔לֶּה (hā·’êl·leh) Article | Pronoun - common plural Strong's 428: These, those cities הֶֽעָרִ֣ים (he·‘ā·rîm) Article | Noun - feminine plural Strong's 5892: Excitement by name בְּשֵֽׁם׃ (bə·šêm) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 8034: A name Links Joshua 21:9 NIVJoshua 21:9 NLT Joshua 21:9 ESV Joshua 21:9 NASB Joshua 21:9 KJV Joshua 21:9 BibleApps.com Joshua 21:9 Biblia Paralela Joshua 21:9 Chinese Bible Joshua 21:9 French Bible Joshua 21:9 Catholic Bible OT History: Joshua 21:9 They gave out of the tribe (Josh.
