Significance: Joshua 21:20 introduces the cities given to the remaining Kohathite clans (those not descended from Aaron), allotted from the tribe of Ephraim. First Chronicles 6:66 begins its parallel account of these same non-Aaronic Kohathite settlements. Both texts distinguish between the Aaronic Kohathites (who received cities in Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin) and the remaining Kohathites (who received cities in Ephraim, Dan, and western Manasseh). This careful subdivision within the Kohathite clan demonstrates the precision of the Levitical city system, which distributed forty-eight cities across all twelve tribes to ensure the Levites' dispersed presence as teachers of Torah throughout Israel.
