1 Então, se chegaram os cabeças dos pais dos levitas 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, por intermédio de Moisés, que se nos dessem cidades para habitar e os seus arredores para os nossos animais. 3 E os filhos de Israel deram aos levitas, da sua herança, segundo o mandado do Senhor, estas cidades e os seus arredores. 4 Caiu a sorte pelas famílias dos coatitas. Assim, os filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, que eram dos levitas, tiveram, por sorte, da tribo de Judá, da tribo de Simeão e da tribo de Benjamim treze cidades. 5 Os outros filhos de Coate tiveram, por sorte, das famílias da tribo de Efraim, da tribo de Dã e da meia tribo de Manassés dez cidades. 6 Os filhos de Gérson tiveram, por sorte, das famílias da tribo de Issacar, da tribo de Aser, da tribo de Naftali e da meia tribo de Manassés, em Basã, treze cidades. 7 Os filhos de Merari tiveram, por sorte, segundo as suas famílias, da tribo de Rúben, da tribo de Gade e da tribo de Zebulom doze cidades. 8 Deram os filhos de Israel aos levitas estas cidades e os seus arredores, por sorte, como o Senhor ordenara por intermédio de Moisés.

9 Deram mais, da tribo dos filhos de Judá e da tribo dos filhos de Simeão, estas cidades que, nominalmente, foram designadas, 10 para que fossem dos filhos de Arão, das famílias dos coatitas, dos filhos de Levi, porquanto a primeira sorte foi deles. 11 Assim, lhes deram Quiriate-Arba (Arba era pai de Anaque), que é Hebrom, na região montanhosa de Judá, e, em torno dela, os seus arredores. 12 Porém o campo da cidade, com suas aldeias, deram a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, por sua possessão.

13 Assim, aos filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, deram Hebrom, cidade de refúgio do homicida, com seus arredores, Libna com seus arredores, 14 Jatir com seus arredores, Estemoa com seus arredores, 15 Holom com seus arredores, Debir com seus arredores, 16 Aim com seus arredores, Jutá com seus arredores e Bete-Semes com seus arredores; ao todo, nove cidades dessas duas tribos. 17 Da tribo de Benjamim, deram Gibeão com seus arredores, Gaba com seus arredores, 18 Anatote com seus arredores e Almom com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 19 Total das cidades dos sacerdotes, filhos de Arão: treze cidades com seus arredores.

20 As mais famílias dos levitas de Coate tiveram as cidades da sua sorte da tribo de Efraim. 21 Deram-lhes Siquém, cidade de refúgio do homicida, com seus arredores, na região montanhosa de Efraim, Gezer com seus arredores, 22 Quibzaim com seus arredores e Bete-Horom com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 23 Da tribo de Dã, deram Elteque com seus arredores, Gibetom com seus arredores, 24 Aijalom com seus arredores e Gate-Rimom com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 25 Da meia tribo de Manassés, deram Taanaque com seus arredores e Gate-Rimom com seus arredores; ao todo, duas cidades. 26 Total: dez cidades com seus arredores, para as famílias dos demais filhos de Coate.

27 Aos filhos de Gérson, das famílias dos levitas, deram, em Basã, da tribo de Manassés, Golã, a cidade de refúgio para o homicida, com seus arredores, e Beesterá com seus arredores; ao todo, duas cidades. 28 Da tribo de Issacar, deram Quisião com seus arredores, Daberate com seus arredores, 29 Jarmute com seus arredores e En-Ganim com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 30 Da tribo de Aser, deram Misal com seus arredores, Abdom com seus arredores, 31 Helcate com seus arredores e Reobe com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 32 Da tribo de Naftali, deram, na Galileia, Quedes, cidade de refúgio para o homicida, com seus arredores, Hamote-Dor com seus arredores e Cartã com seus arredores; ao todo, três cidades. 33 Total das cidades dos gersonitas, segundo as suas famílias: treze cidades com seus arredores.

34 Às famílias dos demais levitas dos filhos de Merari deram, da tribo de Zebulom, Jocneão com seus arredores, Cartá com seus arredores, 35 Dimna com seus arredores e Naalal com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 36 Da tribo de Rúben, deram Bezer com seus arredores, Jaza com seus arredores, 37 Quedemote com seus arredores e Mefaate com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 38 Da tribo de Gade, deram, em Gileade, Ramote, cidade de refúgio para o homicida, com seus arredores, Maanaim com seus arredores, 39 Hesbom com seus arredores e Jazer com seus arredores; ao todo, quatro cidades. 40 Todas estas cidades tocaram por sorte aos filhos de Merari, segundo as suas famílias, que ainda restavam das famílias dos levitas: doze cidades. 41 As cidades, pois, dos levitas, no meio da herança dos filhos de Israel, foram, ao todo, quarenta e oito cidades com seus arredores; 42 cada uma das quais com seus arredores em torno de si; assim foi com 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 O Senhor lhes deu repouso em redor, segundo tudo quanto jurara a seus pais; nenhum de todos os seus inimigos resistiu diante deles; a todos eles o Senhor lhes entregou nas mãos. 45 Nenhuma promessa falhou de todas as boas palavras que o Senhor falara à casa de Israel; tudo se cumpriu.

1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;

2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The 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 to 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 the children of Aaron the priest, which were 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.

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 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 And the children of Israel gave by lot to 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 Which 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 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city 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 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,

14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,

15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,

16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.

17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,

18 Anathoth 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 And 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 Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,

22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.

23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,

24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.

25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.

26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.

27 And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.

28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,

29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.

30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,

31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.

32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.

33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

34 And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.

36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,

37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.

38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,

39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.

41 All the cities of the Levites within 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 were all these cities.

43 And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelled therein.

44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
