Imagine you and your friends have a bunch of toys to share. To make sure everyone gets a fair share, you decide to pick names out of a hat. That's kind of what happened here. The Kohathites, who were like special helpers in the community, got to pick 13 cities to live in from different groups, just like picking toys from different boxes.
