Usage: The term "Dimnah" appears in the context of a city allocated to the Levites in the territory of Zebulun. Context: Dimnah is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the cities given to the Levites. Specifically, it is listed among the cities in the tribal allotment of Zebulun. In the book of Joshua, Dimnah is noted as a city with its surrounding pasturelands, designated for the Levites, who were the priestly tribe of Israel. The Levites were not given a large inheritance of land like the other tribes, but instead, they were assigned specific cities and surrounding lands to dwell in and use for their livestock. The allocation of cities like Dimnah to the Levites underscores the provision made for the priestly class within the tribal system of ancient Israel.
