Joshua 21:22
20 The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim
21 they were given Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim (a city of refuge for the manslayer), Gezer,
Kibzaim, and Beth-horon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
23 From the tribe of Dan they were given Elteke, Gibbethon,
24 Aijalon, and Gath-rimmon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
