What Does 1 Chronicles 6:71 Mean?
The Gershomites were given Golan in Bashan -- itself a city of refuge -- and Ashtaroth, from the half-tribe of Manasseh, each with its pasture. Their homes lay in the high country east of the Jordan.
Golan's role as a refuge again links the dwelling of the Levites to the sheltering mercy of God. Across the whole land, east and west, His ministers were placed where the needy could find safety. The presence of God's servants and the offer of refuge go hand in hand.
