According to the author of the book of Chronicles, God made sure the tribe of Benjamin had 13 special cities for the priests to live and work in. This shows that everyone had a special place and purpose in God's plan.

Contradiction with Joshua 21:27

This verse states that the Gershonites received two cities from the half-tribe of Manasseh, which differs in the count and detail of cities given in 1 Chronicles 6:60.

Joshua 21:27: And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in this context involves the list of cities given to the Levites in 1 Chronicles 6, which doesn't match exactly with the list found in Joshua 21. The differences in names and quantities of towns can create confusion and raise questions about consistency. This might be due to variations in oral tradition, transcription errors, or different sources used by the authors.

Paradox #2

Numerical contradiction in "1 Chronicles 6:60" might be noticed when compared to "Joshua 21:27-33," where the total number of towns and their suburbs given to a certain group differs. This inconsistency involves the numbers reported for the same allocations in different books of the Bible.
