The cities of the priests and Levites. Kedemoth Kedemoth was a city allocated to the tribe of Reuben, located east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the context of the Levitical cities given to the Merarite clan. The name "Kedemoth" means "eastern parts" or "ancient places," which may indicate its geographical position or historical significance. In Deuteronomy 2:26, Moses sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, seeking passage through his land. This highlights Kedemoth's strategic location as a point of contact and negotiation during Israel's wilderness journey. The city's inclusion in the Levitical allotment underscores the importance of providing for the spiritual leaders of Israel, ensuring they had places to live and resources to sustain their ministry. and Mephaath together with their pasturelands Persons / Places / Events 1.

Pasturelands Areas surrounding the Levitical cities designated for grazing livestock, essential for the sustenance of the Levites and their families. Teaching Points God's Provision for His ServantsThe 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 Community Support The Levites relied on the other tribes for their sustenance, illustrating the importance of community support within the body of Christ. We are called to support and uplift those who serve in ministry. Inheritance and Stewardship The Levites' inheritance was not land but the Lord Himself and the service of His people. This challenges us to consider what we value as our inheritance and how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us. Faithfulness in Assigned Roles Each tribe and individual had specific roles and responsibilities. The Levites' dedication to their priestly duties serves as a model for us to be faithful in the roles God has assigned to us.Verse 79. - The two names of this verso, with the two of the preceding, i.e. all the four names of the cities of Reuben, are absent from their proper place in the list in Joshua 21. in the Hebrew Textus Receptus and the Vulgate, though found in Joshua 13:18.
