Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the
fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city
Which were allowed to them out of the several tribes, and where they dwelt, when it was not the turn of their course to officiate in the temple; now to these, as well as to those in Jerusalem, a portion was distributed for the support of them and their families:

the men that were expressed by name;
before mentioned, ( 2 Chronicles 31:13 ) , though some understand it of such as were nominated and appointed by them, and to act under them in the country:

to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that
were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites:
as before declared.
