Read 1 Chronicles 6 in context

Scripture Focus

54Now these are their dwelling places throughout their castles in their coasts, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites: for theirs was the lot.

55And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof round about it.

56But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

57And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of Judah, namely, Hebron, the city of refuge, and Libnah with her suburbs, and Jattir, and Eshtemoa, with their suburbs,

58And Hilen with her suburbs, Debir with her suburbs,

59And Ashan with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs:

60And out of the tribe of Benjamin; Geba with her suburbs, and Alemeth with her suburbs, and Anathoth with her suburbs. All their cities throughout their families were thirteen cities.

1 Chronicles 6:54-60

Biblical Context

The passage lists the dwelling cities allotted to Aaron’s descendants and related families, including Hebron and other towns, totaling thirteen cities. It frames a map of sacred places assigned within the land, symbolizing different lives and duties of the priestly line.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses are not about geography but the territory of consciousness you inhabit. The dwelling places assigned to Aaron’s line are the fixed stations of awareness you enter when you identify with the I AM within you. Hebron, the city of refuge, represents a settled state of inner safety—where you withdraw from outer disturbances and rest in the quiet conviction that your life is imagined and spiritual. The fields around the city given to Caleb speak of the fertile imagination you cultivate in daily life; they are not physical fields but the daily acts of attention, belief, and feeling that nurture your spiritual inheritance. The distribution of cities among the Kohathites and even among Benjamin’s tribe signals that your states of awareness are not singular but manifold; each city corresponds to a function of your consciousness—connection, protection, service, memory, joy. When you accept that God is not out there but the I AM here, you claim a kingdom where your inner choices re-create your outer experience. Your true inheritance is the intimate, still, luminous presence you cultivate within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, breathe into the I AM, and imagine Hebron as your inner refuge now; then revise a small area of life as if you already dwell there, letting the feeling of safety anchor your day.
