The Levites Request Their Towns
Joshua 21 assigns towns and pasturelands to the Levites from the tribal inheritances. It closes with a major theological summary: the LORD gave Israel the land, gave them rest, and not one good promise failed.
The Levites’ request for towns and pasturelands directly fulfills the LORD’s command that each tribe provide cities for Levi. Joshua 21 then allocates those towns among the tribes, implementing the Numbers command in the settled land.
