Joshua 21:39 belongs to the account of Levi's inheritance, which was not a continuous territory but forty-eight cities scattered throughout Israel. The tribe received no single tribal portion like the others, but dwelling places dispersed among all the tribes. Levi was appointed to sanctuary service because of faithful service to Jehovah when the other tribes apostatized. By that appointment the curse of being scattered was changed into a blessing.
