Joshua 21:26
βAll the cities of the families of the rest of the children of Kohath were ten with their suburbs.β
What does Joshua 21:26 mean?
The Kohathites were one of the three main groups of Levites (temple workers), and this verse is simply confirming the final count of cities assigned to them. After listing them out, the writer is saying: yes, that's ten cities total, each with surrounding pastureland for their livestock. It's the kind of careful accounting you'd expect from someone documenting how Israel's new land was divided up fairly among different groups. If you're reading through these genealogical lists and feeling lost, you can appreciate that even in the repetitive details, the point is clear: God's people were organized and everyone received what was promised to them.
