OT: The Book of Joshua, Chapter 21

Joshua 21:1-45

21:1-42 The Levites receive land to live in from each tribe. They are respected guests on each tribe's land because they organize and maintain the faith. The Levites' true inheritance, as prophesied in Deuteronomy, is to dwell with God after their faithful service on earth.

21:43-45 The Promise Fulfilled:
43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it. 44 The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
