1 Chronicles 6:79

Kedemoth, and Mephaath, together with their pasturelands.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records the allocation of Levitical cities to the tribes of Reuben and Gad east of the Jordan, continuing the territorial inventory established in the preceding and following verses.

The words — קְדֵמוֹת (Kedemoth) functions as a proper place name, while מִגְרָשֶׁיהָ (migraShehā) literally means "its pasture lands," linked by the object marker וְאֵת (ve'Et) to denote the agricultural resources attached to each city.

The thread — This entry operates as a single item in a continuous census of Levitical assignments, directly bridging the Reubenite cities in 1 Chronicles 6:78 and the Gadite cities in 1 Chronicles 6:80.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to track the administrative precision of the text, where specific locations and their designated pasturelands are cataloged to document the Levites' fixed inheritance.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
