1 Chronicles 6:56
“but the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.”
What does 1 Chronicles 6:56 mean?
This verse caps off a section listing which cities the Levites (the priestly tribe) received as their inheritance in the promised land. While the Levites got the towns themselves for housing, the surrounding agricultural fields and smaller settlements went to Caleb, the faithful spy who had encouraged Israel to trust God forty years earlier. It's a practical detail about how the land was divided, but it also quietly affirms that God remembered Caleb's loyalty and faithfulness, honoring him with productive territory to support his family.
