 * the tribe.
   These tribes furnished more habitation to the Levites, in
   proportion, than any of the other tribes, because they
   possessed a more extensive inheritance, agreeably to what
   Moses had commanded (Nu 35:8.)  It is worthy of remark, that
   the principal part of this tribe, whose business was to
   minister at the sanctuary, which sanctuary was afterwards
   established at Jerusalem, had their appointment nearest to
   that city; so that they were always within reach of the sacred
   work which God had appointed them.
