Levites, alongside the Kohathites and the Gershonites. The Levites were set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle, and later the temple. The Merarites specifically were responsible for the care and transportation of the tabernacle's structural components, such as the frames, bars, pillars, and bases. This allocation of cities to the Merarites reflects the fulfillment of God's command to provide for the Levites, who did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel (<a href="/numbers/18-20.htm">Numbers 18:20-24</a>).<p><b>From the tribe of Zebulun they were given Rimmono and Tabor,</b><br>The tribe of Zebulun was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's tenth son. Zebulun's territory was located in the northern part of Israel, which was fertile and strategically positioned for trade. Rimmono, also known as Rimmon, is a location that is not extensively detailed in biblical records, but it is understood to be within Zebulun's territory. Tabor is more significant, as it is associated with Mount Tabor, a prominent hill in the region. Mount Tabor is traditionally identified as the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/17.htm">Matthew 17:1-9</a>), making it a place of prophetic and typological significance, pointing to the revelation of Christ's divine nature.<p><b>together with their pasturelands.</b><br>The inclusion of pasturelands was essential for the Levites, as they needed resources to sustain their families and livestock. These lands provided the necessary means for the Levites to live, given that they did not have a large inheritance of land for agriculture. The provision of pasturelands underscores the practical care and provision God made for those dedicated to His service. This allocation also reflects the broader biblical principle of God's provision for His people, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a>, where the Lord is described as a shepherd who provides for all needs.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_zebulun.htm">Tribe of Zebulun</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Zebulun, the sixth son of Jacob and Leah.
