What Does Joshua 21:40 Mean?
The total for the Merarites is summed: twelve cities, assigned by the same lot that governed every other portion. With this, the last branch of Levi is fully provided for.
From first to last, the dividing has been ordered, counted, and complete. Not one family of Levi is left without its place. The Lord who appointed the work also appointed the homes, so that every servant of His house had a settled inheritance among the people.
