21 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto aEleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel; 2 And they spake unto them at bShiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, cThe Lord commanded by the hand of 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, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs. 4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and dthe children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, ehad by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. 5 And fthe 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 gthe 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 hThe children of Merari by 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 iAnd the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of 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 kWhich the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot. 11 lAnd they gave them ||the city of Arba the father of mAnak, which city is Hebron, nin the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it. 12 But othe fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest pHebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and qLibnah with her suburbs, 14 And rJattir with her suburbs, and sEshtemoa with her suburbs, 15 And ||Holon with her suburbs, and tDebir with her suburbs, 16 And ||Ain with her suburbs, and uJuttah with her suburbs, and xBeth-shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those ytwo tribes. 17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, zGibeon with her suburbs, ||Geba with her suburbs, 18 aAnathoth with her suburbs, and ||Almon with her suburbs; four cities. 19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

20 bAnd the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. 21 For they gave them cShechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and dGezer with her suburbs, 22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and eBeth-horon with her suburbs; four cities. 23 And out of the tribe of Dan, fEltekeh with her suburbs, fGibbethon with her suburbs, 24 gAijalon with her suburbs, hGath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities. 25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, iTanach with her suburbs, and jGath-rimmon with her suburbs; two cities. 26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.

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