What Does Joshua 21:7 Mean?
The last branch of Levi, the Merarites, are given cities on both sides of the Jordan, among Reuben and Gad to the east and Zebulun to the west. With this, every family of Levi has its portion named.
The whole tribe of Levi is now woven through the entire nation, from Bashan to the Negev, from Gilead to the sea. Those who carry the things of God are present everywhere. A people surrounded on every side by God's servants is a people kept near to His covenant.
