Numbers 35:8 KJV
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
The cities of given to Levi remind me of today's tithe:
• They were given for the cares for those who were their ministers
• They were given so those ministers could be scattered among the people
• They were given in proportion to their possessions:
Those who had many cities were to give many; those who had fewer cities were to give fewer, each tribe according to their gift.
The cities not only provided for the Levites a place to live but a means of making a living. Around each city was a designated space called the suburbs and it was in that space the Levites could raise their own crops and meet their own needs.
God has provided that those who give their lives would be provided for. The Levites and the priests do not answer directly to the ministry of today, but in principle that same is true. God cares for those who take up the care of His flock.
