And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Joshua 21:7, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse falls within the allotment of forty-eight cities to the Levites, the tribe set apart for priestly service who received no tribal territory of their own. The Merarites were the third clan of Levi, descended from Merari, and their twelve cities came from Reuben, Gad and Zebulun, tribes scattered across the land rather than clustered together.
