Deuteronomy 4:41-43 Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east / to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities: / Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites. Joshua 20:1-9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, / “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, / so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood. ... 1 Chronicles 6:54-81 Now these were the territories assigned to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clan for their settlements, because the first lot fell to them: / They were given Hebron in the land of Judah and its surrounding pasturelands. / But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh. ... Leviticus 25:32-34 As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess. / So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites. / But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession. Numbers 18:20-24 Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites. / Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting. / No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die. ... Deuteronomy 18:1-2 The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the food offerings to the LORD; that is their inheritance. / Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them. Hebrews 7:5 Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Acts 13:19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance. Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Romans 8:17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Revelation 1:6 who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

Beth-horon Another Levitical city, known for its strategic location on the border of Ephraim and Benjamin. It was divided into Upper and Lower Beth-horon and played a significant role in various biblical battles. 3. Levitical Cities These were cities allocated to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, who did not receive a specific territory like the other tribes. Instead, they were given cities within the territories of other tribes to live and serve. 4. Pasturelands The lands surrounding these cities were designated for the Levites' livestock, providing them with the necessary resources to sustain their families and fulfill their priestly duties. 5.

Teaching Points God's Provision for His ServantsThe allocation of cities and pasturelands to the Levites demonstrates God's care and provision for those who serve Him. Just as God provided for the Levites, He provides for His people today. The Importance of Community Support The Levites were supported by the other tribes, illustrating the importance of community and mutual support within the body of Christ. Strategic Placement for Ministry The location of Levitical cities like Beth-horon shows God's strategic planning in placing His servants where they can have the most impact. We should seek to understand and embrace the places God has positioned us for His purposes.
