What does the Bible say about the Levites?

In Numbers 35, God commands the Israelites to provide cities for the Levites, who were set apart to serve Him, maintaining the worship and sacrificial system in Israel. They were given 48 cities, including six cities of refuge, emphasizing their role as spiritual leaders and caregivers for God’s people. The Levites did not have land for agriculture because their sustenance depended on the tithes of the Israelites, reflecting their unique calling to focus on God's service rather than on worldly pursuits.
