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

2 E falaram-lhes em Siló, na terra de Canaã, dizendo: O Senhor ordenou, pelo ministério de Moisés, que se nos dessem cidades para habitar, e os seus arrabaldes para os nossos animais.

3 Por isso os filhos de Israel deram aos levitas da sua herança, conforme a ordem do Senhor, as seguintes cidades e os seus arrabaldes.

4 E saiu a sorte para as famílias dos coatitas; e aos filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, que eram dos levitas, tiveram por sorte da tribo de Judá, e da tribo de Simeão, e da tribo de Benjamim, treze cidades;

5 E aos outros filhos de Coate couberam por sorte, das famílias da tribo de Efraim, e da tribo de Dã, e da meia tribo de Manassés, dez cidades;

6 E aos filhos de Gérson couberam por sorte, das famílias da tribo de Issacar, e da tribo de Aser, e da tribo de Naftali, e da meia tribo de Manassés, em Basã, treze cidades;

7 Aos filhos de Merari, segundo as suas famílias, da tribo de Rúben, e da tribo de Gade, e da tribo de Zebulom, doze cidades;

8 E deram os filhos de Israel aos levitas estas cidades e os seus arrabaldes por sorte, como o Senhor ordenara pelo ministério de Moisés.

9 Deram mais, da tribo dos filhos de Judá e da tribo dos filhos de Simeão, estas cidades, que por nome foram mencionadas,

10 Para que fossem dos filhos de Arão, das famílias dos coatitas dos filhos de Levi; porquanto a primeira sorte foi sua.

11 Assim lhes deram a cidade de Arba, do pai de Anaque (esta é Hebrom), no monte de Judá, e os seus arrabaldes ao redor.

12 Porém o campo da cidade, e as suas aldeias, deram a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, por sua possessão.

13 Assim aos filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, deram Hebrom, cidade do refúgio do homicida, e os seus arrabaldes, Libna e os seus arrabaldes;

14 Jatir e os seus arrabaldes, e Estemoa e os seus arrabaldes;

15 E Holom e os seus arrabaldes, e Debir e os seus arrabaldes;

16 E Aim e os seus arrabaldes, e Jutá e os seus arrabaldes, e Bete-Semes e os seus arrabaldes; nove cidades destas duas tribos.

17 E da tribo de Benjamim, Gibeão e os seus arrabaldes, Geba e os seus arrabaldes;

18 Anatote e os seus arrabaldes, e Almom e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

19 Todas as cidades dos sacerdotes, filhos de Arão, foram treze cidades e os seus arrabaldes.

20 E as famílias dos filhos de Coate, levitas, que ficaram dos filhos de Coate, tiveram as cidades da sua sorte, da tribo de Efraim.

21 E deram-lhes Siquém, cidade de refúgio do homicida, e os seus arrabaldes, no monte de Efraim, e Gezer e os seus arrabaldes;

22 E Quibzaim e os seus arrabaldes, e Bete-Horom e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

23 E da tribo de Dã, Elteque e os seus arrabaldes, Gibetom e os seus arrabaldes;

24 Aijalom e os seus arrabaldes, Gate-Rimom e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

25 E da meia tribo de Manassés, Taanaque e os seus arrabaldes, e Gate-Rimom e os seus arrabaldes; duas cidades.

26 As cidades para as famílias dos demais filhos de Coate, foram dez e os seus arrabaldes.

27 E aos filhos de Gérson, das famílias dos levitas, deram da meia tribo de Manassés, Golã, cidade de refúgio do homicida, em Basã, e os seus arrabaldes, e Beesterá e os seus arrabaldes; duas cidades.

28 E da tribo de Issacar, Quisiom e os seus arrabaldes, Daberate e os seus arrabaldes,

29 Jarmute e os seus arrabaldes, En-Ganim e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

30 E da tribo de Aser, Misal e os seus arrabaldes, Abdom e os seus arrabaldes,

31 Helcate e os seus arrabaldes, e Reobe e os seus arrabaldes;

32 E da tribo de Naftali, Quedes, cidade de refúgio do homicida, na Galiléia, e os seus arrabaldes, e Hamote-Dor e os seus arrabaldes, e Cartã e os seus arrabaldes; três cidades.

33 Todas as cidades dos gersonitas, segundo as suas famílias, foram treze cidades e os seus arrabaldes.

34 E às famílias dos filhos de Merari, aos demais levitas, foram dadas, da tribo de Zebulom, Jocneão e os seus arrabaldes, Cartã e os seus arrabaldes,

35 Dimna e os seus arrabaldes, Naalal e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

36 E da tribo de Rúben, Bezer e os seus arrabaldes, e Jaza e os seus arrabaldes,

37 Quedemote e os seus arrabaldes, e Mefaate e os seus arrabaldes; quatro cidades.

38 E da tribo de Gade, Ramote, cidade de refúgio do homicida, em Gileade, e os seus arrabaldes, e Maanaim e os seus arrabaldes,

39 Hesbom e os seus arrabaldes, Jazer e os seus arrabaldes; ao todo, quatro cidades.

40 Todas estas cidades foram dos filhos de Merari, segundo as suas famílias, que ainda restavam das famílias dos dos levitas; e foi a sua sorte doze cidades.

41 Todas as cidades dos levitas, no meio da herança dos filhos de Israel, foram quarenta e oito cidades e os seus arrabaldes.

42 Estavam estas cidades, cada uma com os seus arrabaldes em redor delas; assim estavam todas estas cidades.

43 Desta maneira deu o Senhor a Israel toda a terra que jurara dar a seus pais; e a possuíram e habitaram nela.

44 E o Senhor lhes deu repouso de todos os lados, conforme a tudo quanto jurara a seus pais; e nenhum de todos os seus inimigos pôde resisti-los; todos os seus inimigos o Senhor entregou-lhes nas mãos.

45 Palavra alguma falhou de todas as boas coisas que o Senhor falou 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.
