1 Chronicles 6:61
And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of the family of that tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe, namely, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities. And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of the family of that tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe, namely, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities.
The remaining sons of Kohath, those left of the family of that tribe, were given ten cities out of the half-tribe of Manasseh by lot. The cities were assigned to the remaining Kohathite families from that half-tribe through this allotment. As part of the genealogical records in Chronicles, this account helped preserve hereditary rights after the exile. Those records established who could receive land and who could perform hereditary temple duties, with this verse recording the cities allotted to the Kohathites.
As part of the record of Israel's tribes and their inheritance, the verse records that the Kohathites received ten cities from the half-tribe of Manasseh. In this way it contributes to the preservation of the record of God's children and the integrity of the tribes. Here lot means the providential means or method of determining and assigning the cities or portion, not the parcel of inherited land itself. It refers to the method of assigning a portion or inheritance, understood as Providence's determination. It is an allocation by lot, not an individual's inheritance in the sense proposed for Daniel's lot.
This use supports understanding Daniel's standing in his lot as receiving his place in the judgment rather than taking possession of an inheritance. It stands against the view that Daniel's lot means an individual's inheritance.
