What Does 1 Chronicles 6:78 Mean?
Across the Jordan near Jericho, from the tribe of Reuben, the Merarites were given Bezer -- a city of refuge in the wilderness -- and Jahzah, each with its open lands. Their homes extended to the eastern frontier.
Bezer's place as a refuge in the wilderness again ties the Levites' dwelling to God's mercy for the endangered. Even in the remote eastern lands, shelter and worship were provided. The Lord's care reaches the edges of the wilderness, sparing none of His people His provision.
