“The cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the people of Israel were in all forty-eight cities with their pasturelands” (v41). The Levites (including priests) were the only tribe without their own land allotment, because, as servants of the tabernacle (and later Temple), God Himself was their inheritance. When they weren’t serving in the Temple, they lived in designated cities “in the midst of” all the other tribes, some of which were cities of refuge. In this way, the Levites’ scriptural knowledge and spiritual leadership were spread across the nation.

Like the Levites, as God’s redeemed people in Christ, we are a “royal priesthood” called to live in the midst of society and proclaim His name (I Peter 2:9).
