- In what sequence were the Kohanic families given their “cities” and why would the distribution begin with Kehatites?
- Why, according to Joshua 21:13, would descendants of Aharon receive a “refuge city”?
- In this distribution, then, are the Levites and the Kohanim considered to be identical? (Note, it does not say Shevet Levi but rather, in Joshua 21:1, “Hal’viim.”)
- Joshua 21:41 would seem to be a “summation.” Who/what is the “hero” in the final analysis? And, does this particular text take into account the cities/tenitories which were not conquered (as noted earlier in the conquest portion for the various groupings)?
