1Then the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel; 2and they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Yehovah commanded by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for our cattle. 3And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Yehovah, these cities with their pasturelands. 4And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. 5And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. 6And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. 7The children of Merari according to their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. 8And the children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasturelands, as Yehovah commanded by Moses. 9And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name: 10and they were for the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot. 11And they gave them Kiriath-arba, this Arba being the father of Anak (that is Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its pasturelands around it. 12But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its pasturelands, 14and Jattir with its pasturelands, and Eshtemoa with its pasturelands, 15and Holon with its pasturelands, and Debir with its pasturelands, 16and Ain with its pasturelands, and Juttah with its pasturelands, and Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands; nine cities out of those two tribes. 17And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands, 18Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its pasturelands; four cities. 19All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their pasturelands. 20And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the children of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. 21And they gave them Shechem with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with its pasturelands, 22and Kibzaim with its pasturelands, and Beth-horon with its pasturelands; four cities. 23And out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasturelands, Gibbethon with its pasturelands, 24Aijalon with its pasturelands, Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands; four cities. 25And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its pasturelands, and Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands;

two cities. 28And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its pasturelands, Daberath with its pasturelands, 29Jarmuth with its pasturelands, En-gannim with its pasturelands; four cities. 30And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its pasturelands, Abdon with its pasturelands, 31Helkath with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands;

four cities in all. 40All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities. 41All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasturelands. 42These cities each had their pasturelands around them: thus it was with all these cities. 43So Yehovah gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. 44And Yehovah gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and not a man of all their enemies stood before them; Yehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45Not anything failed of any good thing which Yehovah had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
