Joshua 21:1–3

CITIES OF THE LEVITES

21 The Levite family heads approached the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family heads of the Israelite tribes. 2 At Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, they told them, “The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to live in, with their pasturelands for our livestock.”m 3 So the Israelites, by the Lord’s command, gave the Levites these cities with their pasturelands from their inheritance.
