1 Chronicles 6:66 says, And the residue of the families of the sons of Kohath had cities of their coasts out of the tribe of Ephraim. We continue with the listing of the cities controlled by various descendants of Levi. Verse sixty-seven adds, And they gave unto them, of the cities of refuge, Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs; they gave also Gezer with her suburbs, The cities of refuge are also listed. Verse sixty-eight continues, And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs, Verse sixty-nine states, And Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs: Verse seventy adds, And out of the half tribe of Manasseh; Aner with her suburbs, and Bileam with her suburbs, for the family of the remnant of the sons of Kohath. Verse seventy-one continues, Unto the sons of Gershom were given out of the family of the half tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, and Ashtaroth with her suburbs: Verse seventy-two says, And out of the tribe of Issachar; Kedesh with her suburbs, Daberath with her suburbs, Verse seventy-three adds, And Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs: Verse seventy -four continues, And out of the tribe of Asher; Mashal with her suburbs, and Abdon with her suburbs, Verse seventy-five concludes, And Hukok with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs: Verse seventy-six states, And out of the tribe of Naphtali; Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, and Hammon with her suburbs, and Kirjathaim with her suburbs. Verse seventy-seven adds, Unto the rest of the children of Merari were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmon with her suburbs, Tabor with her suburbs: Verse seventy- eight says, And on the other side Jordan by Jericho, on the east side of Jordan, were given them out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer in the wilderness with her suburbs, and Jahzah with her suburbs, Verse seventy-nine adds, Kedemoth also with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs: Verse eighty states, And out of the tribe of Gad; Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, and Mahanaim with her suburbs, Verse eighty-one adds, And Heshbon with her suburbs, and Jazer with her suburbs. This was just a listing of the cities of the Levites throughout the tribes of Israel. As Christians, we should have a presence throughout all the world, though we may not control any cities in some of the places.
