What Does Joshua 21:37 Mean?
Two more towns of Reuben finish this portion, four cities in all. These lay on the eastern wilderness edge, where Israel had once passed on its long approach to the promised land.
The very borderlands of the wilderness now hold homes for God's servants. The places of former wandering become places of settled worship. Where Israel once journeyed without rest, the Levites now dwell in peace, a sign of how the Lord turns the road of pilgrimage into a place of home.
