Joshua 21:19

Key Reflection

The verse from Joshua 21:19 lists two Levitical cities—Anathoth and Almon, both of which come with their own pasture lands—together as part of a larger allocation to the Kohathite Levites. In the original audience's context, these cities would have been significant not just for their residential use but also for their pastoral significance, providing the necessary resources for livestock that supported the Levitical families' roles in temple service and religious duties.
