Tribe of Ephraim Ephraim was one of the tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's son Ephraim. This tribe was known for its strength and played a significant role in the history of Israel. 3. Cities of Territory The passage refers to the allocation of cities to the Kohathites within the territory of the tribe of Ephraim. This allocation was part of the broader distribution of land to the Levites, who did not receive a contiguous territory like the other tribes.

Even though the Levites did not receive a large territory, God ensured they had places to live and serve.
