Ramoth
Ramoth is a name that appears in several contexts within the Old Testament. In this passage, it refers to a Levitical city in the territory of Issachar. The name "Ramoth" means "heights" or "high places," which is fitting given its likely elevated location. This city is distinct from Ramoth-Gilead, a more well-known city of refuge located east of the Jordan River. The allocation of cities like Ramoth to the Levites underscores the importance of providing for the priestly tribe, who were responsible for religious duties and had no inheritance of land like the other tribes. This reflects the broader biblical principle of supporting those who serve in spiritual capacities, as seen in passages like Numbers 18:21.

and Anem
Anem is another Levitical city within the territory of Issachar. The name "Anem" is less frequently mentioned in the Bible, and its exact location is not definitively known today. However, its inclusion in the list of Levitical cities highlights the distribution of these cities across various tribal territories, ensuring that the Levites were integrated throughout Israel. This distribution allowed the Levites to perform their religious duties and teach the Law to the people, as described in Deuteronomy 33:10. The presence of Levitical cities in each tribal area also served as a reminder of the centrality of worship and adherence to God's commandments in the life of Israel.

together with their pasturelands
The mention of pasturelands indicates that these cities were not just urban centers but included surrounding lands for grazing livestock. This provision was necessary for the Levites, who, unlike other tribes, did not receive a large inheritance of land. The pasturelands provided sustenance for their families and livestock, ensuring their material needs were met. This arrangement reflects the broader biblical principle of God's provision for those who serve Him, as seen in passages like 1 Corinthians 9:13-14, which speaks to the support of those who minister in spiritual matters. The inclusion of pasturelands also emphasizes the agrarian nature of ancient Israelite society, where livestock played a crucial role in daily life and economy.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Ramoth in Gilead
A city of refuge located in the territory of Gad, east of the Jordan River. It was designated as a Levitical city, meaning it was given to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, for their dwelling and service.

2. Mahanaim
Another Levitical city located in the region of Gilead. Mahanaim holds historical significance as a place where Jacob encountered angels and later became a refuge for King David during Absalom's rebellion.

3. Pasturelands
These were lands surrounding the Levitical cities designated for the grazing of livestock. They were essential for the sustenance of the Levites, who did not have a territorial inheritance like the other tribes.
Teaching Points
God's Provision for His Servants
The allocation of cities and pasturelands to the Levites demonstrates God's care and provision for those dedicated to His service. This reminds us of God's faithfulness in providing for our needs when we commit our lives to Him.

The Importance of Spiritual Heritage
The cities of refuge, including Ramoth in Gilead, symbolize God's provision of safety and justice. This reflects the spiritual refuge we find in Christ, who offers us protection and redemption.

Community and Stewardship
The Levites were given specific lands to manage, emphasizing the importance of stewardship. As believers, we are called to responsibly manage the resources and gifts God has entrusted to us for the benefit of His kingdom.Verse 73. - Ramoth; called in Joshua 21:28, 29, Jarmuth; a place of which nothing else is known, but possibly one with Remeth (Joshua 19:21). Ahem; probably the En-gannim of Joshua 19:21 and Joshua 21:29, and perhaps a contraction of the name.
