The verse is part of a detailed account of the cities given to the Levites, the tribe set apart for religious duties in Israel. Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, along with their pasturelands, were among the cities designated for them. The Levites did not receive a large territory like other tribes because their inheritance was the Lord and their service in the temple. Instead, they were given specific cities and surrounding lands to support their livelihood. This arrangement highlights the communal responsibility to care for those dedicated to spiritual service, ensuring they have the necessary resources to focus on their sacred duties. The inclusion of pasturelands indicates practical support, providing for livestock and agriculture, which were essential for sustenance. This system underscores the value placed on religious service and the community's role in sustaining those who lead and serve spiritually.
