The geographical distribution of the Levites extended across the eastern side of the Jordan River, specifically into the territory belonging to the tribe of Reuben. This area is identified by its proximity to the section of the river that flows near the city of Jericho [מצודת דוד].
Among the locations transferred to the Levite families was a desert city known as Bezer. This location served a vital dual purpose. It was not merely a residential area, but it also functioned as a primary city of refuge, a special status it had been given much earlier by Moses [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
The transfer of property included not only the cities themselves but also the surrounding open lands. Although the official record of this region appears to be missing two specific cities from its tally, these unlisted locations are actually absorbed and included within the broader mention of these surrounding open areas [מצודת דוד].
