Joshua 21:26 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

All the cities of the remainder of the children of Kohath were ten, with their suburbs.'

Why should the family of Aaron receive more cities than the remainder of the family of Kohath? Perhaps the answer is that the leaders were desirous of spreading the influence of the relatively few priests as widely as possible.

Joshua 21:26

26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
