Chapter 21 tells us the division of the cities for the Levites from among the territory of the other tribes. The Levites were scattered throughout the land to teach the people the law and be a godly influence to the rest of the tribes. The Levitical priesthood began with Aaron, the older brother of Moses (Exodus 28:1–3). Aaron’s descendants served as the priests in Israel, ministering in the tabernacle and, later, the temple, primarily as mediators between man and God. The Levitical priests bore the responsibility of offering the sacrifices required by the Mosaic Law. 

The responsibility of the Levites of teaching the law to the rest of tribes has passed from the Levite to the believers in Jesus Christ. We are called to be of godly influence to the world around us. 1 Peter 2:9 says that we are a royal priesthood and that we are called to proclaim the excellences of Jesus. Christians have today the responsibility Levites had and we have to fulfill that duty. 

But only if we understand the Word of God, if we meditate on it and live it, we will be able to be a godly influence to those around us. We need to meditate in the Word of God every day and look for ways to apply it to our lives. That ́s how the light of Jesus brights through us. 

Heavenly Father, You have called us to be different. You have called us to spread the Word and be a holy influence to others. Help me be in Your Word every day and meditate on it. But overall, Lord, help me live it so others can see Your light through my life. In Jesus name. Amen.
