What Does Joshua 21:10 Mean?
The record traces the line carefully: Aaron, within the Kohathites, within Levi. Their lot came out first of all, a place of honor among the families of the tribe.
The priests who drew near to God at the altar are honored first in the dividing of the cities. Those given the weightiest service are remembered with the first portion. Yet the honor is one of duty, not privilege; to be first in nearness to God is to be first in responsibility before Him.
