* And the heads of the fathers of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest , and to the son of Nun , and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel . * And they spoke to them in Shiloh , in the land of Canaan , saying , Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses to give cities to us to live in , and their open land for our livestock . * And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance these cities and their open land , at the mouth of Jehovah : * And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites . And the sons of Aaron the priest , of the Levites , had by lot out of the tribe of Judah , and out of the tribe of Simeon , and out of the tribe of Benjamin , thirteen cities . * And the rest of the sons 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 . * And the sons 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 . * The sons 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 . * And the sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their open land , as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses . * And they gave out of the tribe of the sons of Judah , and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon , these cities which are called by name , * which the sons of Aaron had , being of the families of the Kohathites , who were of the sons of Levi . For theirs was the first lot . * And they gave them the City of Arba , the father of Anak (which is Hebron ) in the hills of Judah , with its open lands around it . * But the fields of the city , and its villages , they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his own . * So they gave Hebron and its open lands to the sons of Aaron the priest as a city of refuge for the slayer , and Libnah and its open lands , * and Jattir and its open lands , and Eshtemoa and its open lands , * and Holon and its open lands , and Debir and its open lands , * and Ain and its open lands , and Juttah and its open lands , and Beth-shemesh and its open lands ; nine cities out of those two tribes . * And out of the tribe of Benjamin , Gibeon and its open lands , Geba and its open lands , * Anathoth and its open lands , and Almon and its open lands ; four cities . * And all the cities of the sons of Aaron the priest were thirteen cities and their open land . * And the families of the sons of Kohath , the Levites who were left of the sons of Kohath , even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim . * And they gave them Shechem and its open land in Mount Ephraim as a city of refuge for the manslayer , and Gezer and its open lands , * And Kibzaim and its open lands , and Beth-horon and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the tribe of Dan , Eltekeh and its open lands , Gibbethon and its open lands , * Aijalon and its open lands , Gathrimmon and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the half tribe of Manasseh , Taanach and its open lands , and Gathrimmon and its open lands ; two cities . * All the cities were ten , and their open land , for the families of the sons of Kohath that were left . * And to the sons of Gershon , of the families of the Levites from the half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan and its open lands as a city of refuge for the manslayer , and Be-eshterah and its open lands ; two cities . * And from the tribe of Issachar they gave Kishon and its open lands , and Dabareth and its open lands , * Jarmuth and its open lands , En-gannim and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the tribe of Asher , Mishal and its open lands , Abdon and its open lands , * Helkath and its open lands , Rehob and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the tribe of Naphtali , Kedesh in Galilee and its open lands as a city of refuge for the manslayer , and Hammothdor and its open lands , and Kartah , and its open lands ; three cities . * All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities and their open land . * And to the families of the sons of Merari , the rest of the Levites , out of the tribe of Zebulun , they gave Jokneam and its open lands , and Kartah and its open lands , * Dimnah and its open lands , Nahalal and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the tribe of Reuben , Bezer and its open lands , and Jahazah and its open lands , * Kedemoth and its open lands , and Mephaath and its open lands ; four cities . * And out of the tribe of Gad , Ramoth in Gilead and its open lands as a city of refuge for the manslayer , and Mahanaim and its open lands , * Heshbon and its open land , Jazer and its open lands ; four cities in all . * All the cities for the sons of Merari by their families , those left of the families of the Levites , were by their lot twelve cities . * All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the sons of Israel were forty eight cities and their open land . * These cities were every one with their open land around them . So it was to all these cities . * And Jehovah gave to Israel all the land which He swore to give to their fathers . And they possessed it , and lived in it . * And Jehovah gave them rest round about , according to all that He swore to their fathers . And not a man of all their enemies stood before them . Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand . * Not did fail a word from any good word which Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel . All came to pass .
