1
Then the heads
of households
of the Levites
approached
Eleazar
the priest,
and Joshua
the son
of Nun,
and the heads
of households
of the tribes
of
the son
s
of Israel.
2
They spoke
to them at Shiloh
in the land
of Canaan,
saying,
"The LORD
commanded
through
Moses
to give
us cities
to live
in, with their pasture lands
for our cattle."
3
So the sons
of Israel
gave
the Levites
from their inheritance
these
cities
with their pasture lands,
according
to the command
of the LORD.
4
Then the lot
came
out for the families
of the Kohathites.
And the sons
of Aaron
the priest,
who were of the Levites,
received
thirteen
cities
by lot
from the tribe
of Judah
and
from the tribe
of the Simeonites
and
from the tribe
of Benjamin.
5
The rest
of the sons
of Kohath
received ten
cities
by lot
from the families
of the tribe
of Ephraim
and from the tribe
of Dan
and from the half-tribe
of Manasseh.
6
The sons
of Gershon
received thirteen
cities
by lot
from the families
of the tribe
of Issachar
and from the tribe
of Asher
and from the tribe
of Naphtali
and from the half-tribe
of Manasseh
in Bashan.
7
The sons
of Merari
according to their families
received twelve
cities
from the tribe
of Reuben
and
from the tribe
of Gad
and
from the tribe
of Zebulun.
8
Now the sons
of Israel
gave
by lot
to the Levites
these
cities
with their pasture lands,
as the LORD
had commanded
through
Moses.
9
They gave
these
cities
which
are here mentioned
by name
from the tribe
of the sons
of Judah
and
from the tribe
of the sons
of Simeon;
10
and they were for the sons
of Aaron,
one of the families
of the Kohathites,
of the sons
of Levi,
for the lot
was theirs
first.
11
Thus they gave
them Kiriath-arba,
Arba being the father
of Anak
(that is, Hebron),
in the hill country
of Judah,
with its surrounding
pasture lands.
12
But the fields
of the city
and its villages
they gave
to Caleb
the son
of Jephunneh
as his possession.
13
So to the sons
of Aaron
the priest
they gave
Hebron,
the city
of refuge
for the manslayer,
with its pasture
lands,
and Libnah
with its pasture
lands,
14
and Jattir
with its pasture
lands
and Eshtemoa
with its pasture
lands
,
15
and Holon
with its pasture
lands
and Debir
with its pasture
lands
,
16
and Ain
with its pasture
lands
and Juttah
with its pasture
lands
and Beth-shemesh
with its pasture
lands
;
nine
cities
from these
two
tribes.
17
From the tribe
of Benjamin,
Gibeon
with its pasture
lands,
Geba
with its pasture
lands,
18
Anathoth
with its pasture
lands
and Almon
with its pasture
lands
;
four
cities.
19
All
the
cities
of the sons
of Aaron,
the priests,
were thirteen
cities
with their pasture lands.
20
Then the cities
from the tribe
of Ephraim
were allotted
to the families
of the sons
of Kohath,
the Levites,
even to the rest
of the sons
of Kohath.
21
They gave
them Shechem,
the city
of refuge
for the manslayer,
with its pasture
lands,
in the hill country
of Ephraim,
and Gezer
with its pasture
lands,
22
and Kibzaim
with its pasture
lands
and Beth-horon
with its pasture
lands
;
four
cities.
23
From the tribe
of Dan,
Elteke
with its pasture
lands,
Gibbethon
with its pasture
lands,
24
Aijalon
with its pasture
lands,
Gath-rimmon
with its pasture
lands;
four
cities.
25
From the half-tribe
of Manasseh,
they allotted Taanach
with its pasture
lands
and Gath-rimmon
with its pasture
lands
;
two
cities.
26
All
the cities
with their pasture lands
for the families
of the rest
of the sons
of Kohath
were ten.
27
To the sons
of Gershon,
one of the families
of the Levites,
from the half-tribe
of Manasseh,
they gave Golan
in Bashan,
the city
of refuge
for the manslayer,
with its pasture
lands,
and Be-eshterah
with its pasture
lands;
two
cities.
28
From the tribe
of Issachar,
they gave Kishion
with its pasture
lands,
Daberath
with its pasture
lands,
29
Jarmuth
with its pasture
lands,
En-gannim
with its pasture
lands;
four
cities.
30
From the tribe
of Asher,
they gave Mishal
with its pasture
lands,
Abdon
with its pasture
lands,
31
Helkath
with its pasture
lands
and Rehob
with its pasture
lands
;
four
cities.
32
From the tribe
of Naphtali,
they gave Kedesh
in Galilee,
the city
of refuge
for the manslayer,
with its pasture
lands
and Hammoth-dor
with its pasture
lands
and Kartan
with its pasture
lands
;
three
cities.
33
All
the
cities
of the Gershonites
according to their families
were thirteen
cities
with their pasture lands.
34
To the families
of the sons
of Merari,
the rest
of the Levites,
they gave from the tribe
of Zebulun,
Jokneam
with its pasture
lands
and Kartah
with its pasture
lands
.
35
Dimnah
with its pasture
lands,
Nahalal
with its pasture
lands;
four
cities.
36
From the tribe
of Reuben,
they gave Bezer
with its pasture
lands
and Jahaz
with its pasture
lands
,
37
Kedemoth
with its pasture
lands
and Mephaath
with its pasture
lands
;
four
cities.
38
From the tribe
of Gad,
they gave Ramoth
in Gilead,
the city
of refuge
for the manslayer,
with its pasture
lands
and Mahanaim
with its pasture
lands
,
39
Heshbon
with its pasture
lands,
Jazer
with its pasture
lands;
four
cities
in all.
40
All
these were the cities
of the sons
of Merari
according to their families,
the rest
of the families
of the Levites;
and their lot
was twelve
cities.
41
All
the
cities
of the Levites
in the midst
of the possession
of the sons
of Israel
were forty-eight
cities
with their pasture lands.
42
These
cities
each
had
its surrounding
pasture lands;
thus
it was with all
these
cities
.
43
So the LORD
gave
Israel
all
the land
which
He had sworn
to give
to their fathers,
and they possessed
it and lived
in it.
44
And the LORD
gave
them rest
on every side,
according to
all
that He had sworn
to their fathers,
and no
one
of
all
their enemies
stood
before
them; the LORD
gave
all
their enemies
into their hand.
45
Not one
of the good
promises
which
the LORD
had made
to the house
of Israel
failed;
all
came to pass.
