What Does 1 Chronicles 6:55 Mean?
The first city named is Hebron in Judah, granted to the priests along with its surrounding open lands. Hebron was an ancient and honored place, the burial ground of the patriarchs and once David's first capital.
The priests were given not only a city but pasture round about for their flocks, a settled and sustaining home. God provided for those who served at His altar. Even without a tribal inheritance, the ministers of the Lord were not left wanting, for He Himself was their portion.
