The cities of the priests and Levites. Hilen Hilen is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites in the territory of Judah. This allocation is part of the broader distribution of land to the Levites, who were set apart for religious duties and did not receive a contiguous territory like the other tribes. The city of Hilen is not frequently mentioned in the Bible, which suggests it was a smaller or less prominent location. Its inclusion in the Levitical cities highlights the importance of providing for the spiritual leaders of Israel, ensuring they had places to live and resources to sustain their ministry. The allocation of cities to the Levites is a fulfillment of God's command in Numbers 35:1-8, where He instructed Moses to provide cities for the Levites to dwell in. This reflects the principle that those who serve in spiritual roles are supported by the community they serve. Debir Persons / Places / Events 1. HilenA town allocated to the Levites in the territory of Judah. It is significant as part of the Levitical cities, which were given to the tribe of Levi for their service to God and the community. 2. Debir Another town given to the Levites, also located in the territory of Judah. It highlights the provision for the Levites, who had no inheritance of land like the other tribes. 3. Pasturelands These were the lands surrounding the Levitical cities, used for grazing livestock. They were essential for the sustenance of the Levites, who relied on these lands for their livelihood. 4. Levites The tribe of Levi, set apart for religious duties and service in the temple. They were supported by the other tribes through the provision of cities and pasturelands. 5. Allocation of Land The event of distributing land to the Levites as recorded in 1 Chronicles 6, which underscores God's provision and the importance of supporting those dedicated to His service. Teaching Points God's Provision for His ServantsGod ensures that those who serve Him are provided for. The allocation of cities and pasturelands to the Levites is a testament to His faithfulness and care. The Importance of Supporting Ministry Just as the Israelites supported the Levites, Christians today are called to support those in ministry, recognizing their role in spiritual leadership and service. Community and Interdependence The distribution of land to the Levites highlights the interdependence within the community of God's people. Each tribe had a role in supporting the spiritual leaders, fostering unity and cooperation. Stewardship of Resources The provision of pasturelands underscores the importance of stewardship. The Levites were to use these resources wisely to sustain their families and fulfill their duties. Faithfulness in Service The Levites' dedication to their roles, despite not having a traditional inheritance, serves as a model of faithfulness and trust in God's provision.(58) Hilen.--Holon, which twice occurs in Joshua 15:51; Joshua 21:15, is a more natural form.
