As for the Gershonites, the families of the Levites, they received from the family of the half-tribe of Manasseh Golan in Bashan with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the slayer, and Be-eshterah with its pasturelands—two cities — The Gershonites begin with Transjordanian cities. Golan, another city of refuge, shows that refuge function spans all Levitical families.
