Dwelling Places of the Levites

54 aNow these are their dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the Kohathites:  
55 aThey gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, with its surrounding1 common-lands.  
56 aBut the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.  
57 And ato the sons of Aaron they gave one of the cities of refuge, Hebron; also Libnah with its common-lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its common-lands,  
58 Hilen with its common-lands, Debir with its common-lands,  
59 Ashan with its common-lands, and Beth Shemesh with its common-lands.

1 Chronicles 6:1-81

Genealogies.

- We have an account of Levi in this chapter. The priests and Levites were more concerned than any other Israelites, to preserve their descent clear, and to be able to prove it; because all the honours and privileges of their office depended upon their descent. Now, the Spirit of God calls ministers to their work, without any limit as to the families they came from; and then, as now, though believers and ministers may be very useful to the church, none but our great High Priest can make atonement for sin, nor can any be accepted but through his atonement.
