These areas were not suburbs in the modern sense of residential areas outside a city, but rather lands allocated for specific purposes as outlined in the Old Testament. Biblical References and Description The concept of suburbs is primarily found in the context of the Levitical cities. In <a href="/numbers/35-2.htm">Numbers 35:2-5</a>, God commands Moses to allocate cities for the Levites, along with surrounding pasturelands: > "Command the Israelites to give the Levites cities to live in from the inheritance they possess, and you are also to give the Levites pasturelands around the cities. The cities will be theirs to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their cattle, flocks, and all their other livestock. The pasturelands around the cities you give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the city wall on every side. You are to measure two thousand cubits outside the city on the east side, two thousand cubits on the south side, two thousand cubits on the west side, and two thousand cubits on the north side, with the city in the center. These areas will serve as pasturelands for the cities." These suburbs were essential for the sustenance of the Levites, who did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel. Instead, they were given specific cities and the surrounding lands to support their livestock and provide for their needs. Function and Significance The suburbs served several functions: 1. Pasturelands for Livestock: As indicated in <a href="/bsb/numbers/35.htm">Numbers 35</a>, the suburbs were primarily intended for grazing livestock. This provision ensured that the Levites, who were responsible for the spiritual and religious duties of the nation, had the necessary resources to maintain their livelihood. 2. Buffer Zones: The suburbs acted as buffer zones around the cities, providing a clear demarcation between urban areas and agricultural or pastoral lands. This separation was crucial for maintaining the purity and sanctity of the Levitical cities. 3. Community Support: By providing these lands, the Israelites supported the Levites, acknowledging their unique role and service. This arrangement reflects the communal responsibility and interdependence among the tribes of Israel. Theological Implications The allocation of suburbs to the Levites underscores the importance of supporting those dedicated to spiritual service. It highlights the principle of provision for those who serve in religious capacities, ensuring they have the means to live and perform their duties without the burden of seeking additional resources. Furthermore, the suburbs symbolize the integration of spiritual and practical life, where the sacred duties of the Levites were supported by tangible, earthly provisions. This balance between spiritual service and material support is a recurring theme in biblical teachings, emphasizing the holistic nature of God's provision for His people. Conclusion The biblical concept of suburbs, as seen in the allocation of pasturelands to the Levites, provides insight into the organization and priorities of ancient Israelite society. It reflects the community's commitment to supporting religious leaders and ensuring the proper functioning of spiritual duties within the nation.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>The immediate vicinity of a city or town (<a href="/numbers/35-3.htm">Numbers 35:3</a>, 7; <a href="/ezekiel/45-2.htm">Ezek. 45:2</a>).
