on 1 Chronicles 6:61-81
The rest of the Levites receive their portion by lot from the remaining tribes: Kohath's remainder from Ephraim and half of Manasseh, Gershom's from Issachar, Asher, Naphtali and Bashan, and Merari's from Reuben, Gad and Zebulun, closing the record of a tribe with no territory of its own. Henry notes that every region of Israel kept a Levite's city inside it, so that no part of the land lacked someone to teach the law. Among Kohath's grant stand cities of refuge such as Shechem, folding the sanctuary and the place of safety into the same set of towns.
