26 All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.
26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
26 The cities of the clans of the rest of the Kohathites were ten in all with their pasturelands.
26 All told, ten cities with their pastures went to the remaining Kohathite families.
26 All the ten cities with their common-lands were for the rest of the families of the children of Kohath.
26 So in all, ten towns with their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clan.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 21:26
Commentary on Joshua 21:9-42
(Read Joshua 21:9-42)
By mixing the Levites with the other tribes, they were made to see that the eyes of all Israel were upon them, and therefore it was their concern to walk so that their ministry might not be blamed. Every tribe had its share of Levites' cities. Thus did God graciously provide for keeping up religion among them, and that they might have the word in all parts of the land. Yet, blessed be God, we have the gospel more diffused amongst us.
