What Does Joshua 21:19 Mean?
The total for Aaron's priestly line is gathered into one number: thirteen cities. The summary closes the priests' portion before the rest of the Levites are counted.
The priests, fewest in number among Levi's branches, are abundantly provided for, scattered close to the land's center of worship. God supplies His ministers fully. Those who give their lives to His service are not left wanting, for the Lord Himself is their portion and their care.
