It is located in the territory of Ephraim, one of the tribes of Israel. The name Jokmeam means "the people will rise," which may reflect a hopeful or prophetic aspect of the town's significance. Geographically, Jokmeam is believed to be situated near the modern-day site of Tell Qamun, though its exact location remains uncertain. The town's inclusion in the Levitical cities underscores the importance of providing for the spiritual leaders of Israel, as the Levites were responsible for religious duties and teaching the Law. This allocation reflects the broader biblical principle of supporting those who minister in spiritual matters, as seen in passages like 1 Corinthians 9:13-14, where Paul discusses the rights of those who preach the gospel to receive their living from it. Beth-horon Persons / Places / Events 1. JokmeamA Levitical city given to the descendants of Aaron, located in the territory of Ephraim. It served as a place for the Levites to live and perform their priestly duties. 2. Pasturelands These lands were designated for the Levites to use for their livestock, providing them with sustenance and means to support their families. 3. Tribe of Ephraim One of the tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's son Ephraim. This tribe was known for its central location in the land of Israel and its significant role in the history of the nation. Teaching Points God's Provision for His ServantsGod ensures that those who serve Him, like the Levites, are provided for. This reflects His faithfulness and care for those dedicated to His work. The Importance of Community Support The allocation of cities and pasturelands to the Levites underscores the importance of community support for spiritual leaders. It reminds us to support those who minister to us. Inheritance Beyond Material Wealth The Levites' inheritance was not land but the Lord Himself. This teaches us to value spiritual inheritance over material possessions. Role of Spiritual Leaders The Levites were set apart for service, reminding us of the vital role spiritual leaders play in guiding and nurturing the faith community. Faithfulness in Assigned Roles Each tribe had a role in supporting the Levites, teaching us the importance of faithfulness in our God-given responsibilities.(68) Jokmeam.--Joshua has Kibzaim, a name omitted by the LXX. Vatic. Jokmeam is probably right. The other might easily be a misreading of it, owing to confusion of similar letters. The site is unknown. The four cities of 1Chronicles 6:67-68 lay in Ephraim. Beth-horon, Gibeon, and Aijalon, the scenes of the great and providentially determined overthrow of the five kings of the Amorites, were appropriately assigned to the sacred tribe of Levi.
