This division is significant in the history of Israel, as it reflects the allocation of land on both sides of the Jordan River. The half-tribe mentioned here is the one settled on the western side of the Jordan. This allocation underscores God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises to the descendants of Joseph, highlighting the importance of inheritance and divine faithfulness.<p><b>they were given</b><br />The phrase "they were given" indicates a transfer of land, a common practice in the distribution of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. This act of giving is rooted in the Hebrew word "nathan," which means to give, bestow, or grant. It reflects the divine authority and order in the distribution of land, emphasizing that the land ultimately belongs to God, who apportions it according to His will.<p><b>Aner and Bileam</b><br />Aner and Bileam are specific locations within the territory of the half-tribe of Manasseh. These towns, along with their surrounding pasturelands, were designated for the Kohathites, a clan within the Levites. The mention of these towns highlights the detailed and organized manner in which the land was distributed, ensuring that the needs of the Levitical priesthood were met. This allocation underscores the importance of supporting those who serve in the temple, as they had no inheritance of their own.<p><b>together with their pasturelands</b><br />The inclusion of pasturelands is significant, as it provided the necessary resources for the Kohathites to sustain their livestock and, by extension, their families. The Hebrew term for pasturelands, "migrash," refers to open land surrounding a city, used for grazing. This provision reflects God's care for the practical needs of the Levites, ensuring they had the means to live and serve without the burden of agricultural labor, thus allowing them to focus on their spiritual duties.<p><b>for the clans of the remaining Kohathites</b><br />The Kohathites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, descended from Kohath, the son of Levi. This specific mention of the "remaining Kohathites" indicates a subset of the Kohathite clan that had not yet received their allocation of land. The Levites, including the Kohathites, were set apart for religious duties and did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes. Instead, they were given cities and pasturelands throughout Israel. This arrangement highlights the special role of the Levites in Israelite society, serving as a reminder of the importance of spiritual leadership and the community's responsibility to support those who minister in God's name.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(70) <span class= "bld">Aner . . .

The latter is a mere repetition from the preceding verse. Bileam is a man's name, being the Hebrew spelling of Balaam. It should be Ibleam (<a href="/joshua/17-11.htm" title="And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.">Joshua 17:11</a>).
