In the allocation of land to the Levites, the tribe of Manasseh contributed two towns, Taanach and Gath Rimmon, along with their pasturelands. This distribution was part of a broader plan to ensure that the Levites, who had no inheritance of their own, were integrated into the community and could perform their religious duties effectively. The Levites were responsible for spiritual leadership and maintaining the worship practices of Israel, so it was crucial for them to be spread throughout the land. By providing them with towns and pasturelands, the Israelites ensured that the Levites had the necessary resources to sustain themselves and their families. This arrangement underscores the importance of supporting those who serve in spiritual roles and reflects a communal approach to resource sharing. It also highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes and the collective responsibility to uphold the spiritual and cultural life of the nation.
And from half the tribe of Manasseh, they gave Taanach and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands—two towns.
