What does 1 Chronicles 6:70 mean?
This verse is part of a detailed list showing how the Levites (priests and temple workers) were distributed across Israel's territory. God had set aside specific cities for them to live in, along with surrounding pastureland for their flocks, since the Levites didn't inherit land the way other tribes did. Aner and Bileam were two of these designated cities given to the Kohath clan, one of the main Levite family groups. The practical point is that God made sure those who served in worship had homes and resources to support themselves and their families.
