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.

5 Os mais filhos de Coate receberam por sorte das famílias da tribo de Efraim, da tribo de Dã e da meia tribo de Manassés, dez cidades.

8 Os filhos de Israel deram por sorte aos levitas estas cidades com seus arrabaldes, como Jeová ordenou por meio de Moisés.

9 Deram da tribo dos filhos de Judá, e da tribo dos filhos de Simeão, estas cidades, cujos nomes vão aqui mencionados,

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.

12 Mas deram o campo da cidade e suas aldeias a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, para sua possessão.

13 Aos filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, deram Hebrom, cidade de refúgio para o homicida, com seus arrabaldes e Libna com seus arrabaldes;

17 Da tribo de Benjamim, deram Gibeom com seus arrabaldes, e Geba com seus arrabaldes;

18 Anatote com seus arrabaldes, e Almom com seus arrabaldes, quatro cidades.

19 Os sacerdotes, filhos de Arão, tiveram ao todo treze cidades com seus arrabaldes.

20 As famílias dos filhos de Coate, os levitas, isto é, os mais filhos de Coate, receberam da tribo de Efraim as cidades da sua sorte.

25 Da meia tribo de Manassés, deram Taanaque com seus arrabaldes, e Gate-Rimom com seus arrabaldes: duas cidades.

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

27 Aos filhos de Gérson, das famílias dos levitas, deram em Basã da meia tribo de Manassés Golã, cidade de refúgio para o homicida, com seus arrabaldes; e Beesterá com seus arrabaldes: duas cidades.

28 E da tribo de Issacar, deram Quisiom com seus arrabaldes, e Daberate com seus arrabaldes;

40 Os filhos de Merari, as mais famílias dos levitas, tiveram por sorte, segundo as suas famílias, ao todo estas doze cidades.

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.

1 Then came near the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel; 2 and they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. 3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Jehovah, these cities with their suburbs.

4 And 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.

5 And 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.

6 And 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.

7 The 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.

8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as Jehovah commanded by Moses. 9 And 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: 10 and 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. 11 And they gave them Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it. 12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

13 And unto the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its suburbs, 14 and Jattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, 15 and Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs, 16 and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes. 17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its suburbs, Geba with its suburbs, 18 Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities. 19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

20 And 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. 21 And they gave them Shechem with its suburbs in the hill-country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with its suburbs, 22 and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth-horon with its suburbs; four cities. 23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its suburbs, 24 Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; four cities. 25 And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; two cities. 26 All the cities of the families of the rest of the children of Kohath were ten with their suburbs.

27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be-eshterah with its suburbs; two cities. 28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its suburbs, Daberath with its suburbs, 29 Jarmuth with its suburbs, En-gannim with its suburbs; four cities. 30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs, 31 Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob with its suburbs; four cities. 32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Hammoth-dor with its suburbs, and Kartan with its suburbs; three cities. 33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its suburbs, and Kartah with its suburbs, 35 Dimnah with its suburbs, Nahalal with its suburbs; four cities. 36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its suburbs, and Jahaz with its suburbs, 37 Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs; four cities. 38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs, 39 Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all. 40 All 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.

41 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs. 42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus it was with all these cities.

43 So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 44 And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
