📖🕯 Holy Bible - Joshua 21 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Cities for the Levites, The cities allotted to the Levites, God gave the land and rest to the Israelites, according to his promise.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "The Levites [God's Priests] waited till the other tribes were provided for, before they preferred their claim to Joshua. They build their claim upon a very good foundation; not their own merits or services, but the Divine precept. The maintenance of ministers is not a thing left merely to the will of the people, that they may let them starve if they please; they which preach the gospel should live by the gospel, and should live comfortably." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: The book of Joshua. Joshua functioned as Moses' assistant in the books of Exodus and Numbers, and later succeeded Moses as leader of the Israelite tribes in the Bible. Here is the history of Israel's passing into the land of Canaan, conquering and dividing it, under the command of Joshua, and their history until his death. The power and truth of God in fulfilling his promises to Israel, and in executing his justly threatened vengeance on the Canaanites, are wonderfully displayed. This should teach us to regard the tremendous curses denounced in the word of God against impenitent sinners, and to seek refuge in Christ Jesus.
