March 29: Joshua 19:49 – Joshua 21:45; 1 Chronicles 6:54–81



The Inheritance for Joshua – Joshua 19:49–51

  • Joshua is given his inheritance—the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country within the land of the tribe of Ephraim.


The Cities of Refuge – Joshua 20

  • God tells Joshua to appoint cities of refuge, so there are places for men to flee if they kill another by accident.
  • The towns of Kedesh, Shechem, Kiriath-arba (Hebron), Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan as cities of refuge.

Cities and Pasturelands Allotted to Levi – Joshua 21
  • The heads of the Levites go to Joshua and Eleazar the priest and remind them that Moses said they would be given cities to dwell in and pasturelands around those cities. Through a casting of lots, the Levites are given their cities and pasturelands—forty-eight cities.
  • God has given the Israelites the land He has promised to them, and they settle there.

Descendants of Levi – 1 Chronicles 6:54–81
  • The cities and pasturelands allotted to Levi are repeated.
