And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,
From the share belonging to Reuben, Bezer together with its surrounding pasturelands was assigned to the Levites. Jahazah together with its surrounding pasturelands was assigned in the same way from that same tribal portion. These two towns stand in the record as part of the Levitical allotment drawn from Reubenite territory. The arrangement shows that Levi received no single compact tribal district but an inheritance made up of towns dispersed among the other tribes throughout the land.
