1 Then the chief fathers of the Levites drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;

2 and they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded through Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for our cattle.

3 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the word of Jehovah, these cities and their suburbs.

4 And the lot came forth for the families of the Kohathites. And the children of Aaron the priest, 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.

10 and which the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi had (for theirs was the first lot);

11 and they gave them Kirjath-Arba, {which Arba was} the father of Anak, that is, Hebron, in the mountain of Judah, with its suburbs round about it.

12 But the fields of the city and the hamlets thereof gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

13 And they gave to the children of Aaron the priest the city of refuge for the slayer, Hebron and its suburbs; and Libnah and its suburbs,

14 and Jattir and its suburbs, and Eshtemoa and its suburbs,

15 and Holon and its suburbs, and Debir and its suburbs,

19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities and their suburbs.

20 And to the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites that remained of the children of Kohath, {they gave cities}. And the cities of their lot were out of the tribe of Ephraim,

26 All the cities were ten and their suburbs, for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.

27 And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of half the tribe of Manasseh, {they gave} the city of refuge for the slayer, Golan in Bashan and its suburbs; and Beeshterah and its suburbs: two cities;

28 and out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion and its suburbs, Dabrath and its suburbs,

29 Jarmuth and its suburbs, En-gannim and its suburbs: four cities;

30 and out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal and its suburbs, Abdon and its suburbs,

40 {These were} all the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, which remained of the families of the Levites, and their lot was twelve cities.

41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities and their suburbs.

42 Each one of these cities had its suburbs round about it: thus were all these cities.

43 And Jehovah gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give unto their fathers; and they took possession of it, and dwelt in it.

44 And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he had sworn unto their fathers; and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them: Jehovah gave all their enemies into their hand.

45 There failed nothing of all the good things that Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel: all came to pass.

1 Então se chegaram os cabeças das casas paternas dos levitas a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e a Josué, filho de Num, e aos cabeças das casas paternas das tribos dos filhos de Israel;

2 e lhes falaram em Silo na terra de Canaã, dizendo: Por meio de Moisés ordenou Jeová que se nos dessem cidades em que habitássemos, e os arrabaldes delas para o nosso gado.

3 Da sua herança deram os filhos de Israel aos levitas, segundo a ordem de Jeová, estas cidades com seus arrabaldes.

4 Saiu a sorte às famílias dos coatitas. Os filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, que eram dos levitas, receberam por sorte, da tribo de Judá, da tribo dos simeonitas e da tribo de Benjamim, treze cidades.

10 e que pertenceram aos filhos de Arão, das famílias dos coatitas, que eram dos filhos de Levi; pois a eles caiu a primeira sorte.

11 Na região montanhosa de Judá deram-lhes Quiriate-Arba, o qual Arba era pai de Anaque (esta é Hebrom), com seus arrabaldes ao redor.

26 Os mais filhos de Coate tiveram ao todo dez cidades com seus arrabaldes.

41 Os levitas tiveram no meio da possessão dos filhos de Israel, ao todo quarenta e oito cidades com seus arrabaldes.

42 Cada uma destas cidades tinha os seus arrabaldes ao redor: assim foi com todas elas.

43 Assim deu Jeová a Israel toda a terra que prometeu com juramento que daria a seus pais; eles a possuíram, e nela habitaram.

44 Jeová deu-lhes descanso, conforme tudo o que jurou a seus pais. Nenhum de todos os seus inimigos ao redor lhes resistiu: Jeová entregou-lhes nas mãos todos os seus inimigos.

45 Não falhou nenhuma de todas as boas coisas que Jeová tinha prometido à casa de Israel; tudo se cumpriu.
