1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar 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 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 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 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 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 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 Beth-shemesh 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 Beth-horon 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, Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities. 25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gath-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.
27 And unto 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 Beesh-terah 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, En-gannim 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 Hammoth-dor 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 unto 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 unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 44 And the LORD 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; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
1 Toe het die familiehoofde van die Leviete nader gekom na Ele sar, die priester, en na Josua, die seun van Nun, en na die familiehoofde van die stamme van die kinders van Israel,
2 en met hulle gespreek in Silo, in die land Kana„n, en gesê: Die HERE het deur die diens van Moses bevel gegee dat aan ons stede afgestaan moet word om in te woon, met hulle weiveld vir ons vee.
3 Toe het die kinders van Israel aan die Leviete, volgens die bevel van die HERE, uit hulle erfdeel die volgende stede met hulle weiveld afgestaan:
4 Die lot het uitgekom vir die geslagte van die Kehatiete; en die kinders van A„ron, die priester, uit die Leviete, het ontvang uit die stam van Juda en uit die stam van S¡meon en uit die stam van Benjamin, deur die lot, dertien stede;
5 en die ander kinders van Kehat, uit die geslagte van die stam van Efraim en uit die stam van Dan en uit die halwe stam van Manasse, deur die lot, tien stede;
6 en die kinders van Gerson, uit die geslagte van die stam van Issaskar en uit die stam van Aser en uit die stam van N ftali en uit die halwe stam van Manasse in Basan, deur die lot, dertien stede;
7 en die kinders van Mer ri, volgens hulle geslagte, uit die stam van Ruben en uit die stam van Gad en uit die stam van S,bulon, twaalf stede.
8 So het dan die kinders van Israel aan die Leviete hierdie stede met hulle weiveld deur die lot gegee, soos die HERE deur die diens van Moses beveel het.
9 Verder het hulle, uit die stam van die kinders van Juda en uit die stam van die kinders van S¡meon, hierdie stede gegee wat hulle met hul name genoem het:
10 die kinders van A„ron dan, uit die geslagte van die Kehatiete, uit die kinders van Levi, het ontvang -- want die eerste lot was vir hulle --
11 en aan hulle is gegee: die stad van Arba, die vader van Anok, dit is Hebron, op die gebergte van Juda, met sy weiveld daaromheen;
12 maar die saaigrond van die stad, met sy dorpe, het hulle aan Kaleb, die seun van Jefunne, as sy besitting gegee.
13 En aan die kinders van A„ron, die priester, het hulle gegee Hebron, die vrystad vir hom wat 'n doodslag begaan het, met sy weiveld, en Libna met sy weiveld,
14 en Jattir met sy weiveld, en Estemoa met sy weiveld,
15 en Holon met sy weiveld, en Debir met sy weiveld,
16 en Ajin met sy weiveld, en Jutta met sy weiveld, en Bet-Semes met sy weiveld: nege stede uit hierdie twee stamme.
17 En uit die stam van Benjamin: G¡beon met sy weiveld, en Geba met sy weiveld,
18 en Anatot met sy weiveld, en Almon met sy weiveld: vier stede.
19 Al die stede van die kinders van A„ron, die priesters, was dertien stede met hulle weiveld.
20 En die geslagte van die kinders van Kehat, die Leviete, wat nog oor was van die kinders van Kehat, het hulle stede wat deur die lot aangewys was, ontvang uit die stam van Efraim;
21 en hulle het aan hulle gegee: die vrystad vir hom wat 'n doodslag begaan het: Sigem met sy weiveld op die gebergte van Efraim, en Geser met sy weiveld,
22 en Kibs im met sy weiveld, en Bet-Horon met sy weiveld: vier stede.
23 En uit die stam van Dan: Âlteke met sy weiveld, G¡bbeton met sy weiveld,
24 Ajalon met sy weiveld, Gat-Rimmon met sy weiveld: vier stede.
25 En uit die helfte van die stam van Manasse: T änag met sy weiveld, en Gat-Rimmon met sy weiveld: twee stede;
26 alles saam tien stede met hulle weiveld vir die geslagte van die kinders van Kehat wat nog oorgebly het.
27 En aan die kinders van Gerson uit die geslagte van die Leviete: uit die halwe stam van Manasse, die vrystad vir hom wat 'n doodslag begaan het: Golan in Basan met sy weiveld, en Beëst,ra met sy weiveld: twee stede.
28 En uit die stam van Issaskar: Kisjon met sy weiveld, en Daberat met sy weiveld,
29 Jarmut met sy weiveld, En-Gannim met sy weiveld: vier stede.
30 En uit die stam van Aser: Miseal met sy weiveld, Abdon met sy weiveld,
31 Helkat met sy weiveld, en Rehob met sy weiveld: vier stede.
32 En uit die stam van N ftali, die vrystad vir hom wat 'n doodslag begaan het: Kedes in Galil,a met sy weiveld, en Hammot-Dor met sy weiveld, en Kartan met sy weiveld: drie stede;
33 al die stede van die Gersoniete, volgens hulle geslagte, was dertien stede met hulle weiveld.
34 En aan die geslagte van die kinders van Mer ri, die Leviete wat nog oor was -- uit die stam van S,bulon: Jokneam met sy weiveld, Karta met sy weiveld,
35 Dimna met sy weiveld, N halal met sy weiveld: vier stede.
36 En uit die stam van Ruben: Beser met sy weiveld, en Jahas met sy weiveld,
37 Ked,mot met sy weiveld, en Mef ät met sy weiveld: vier stede.
38 En uit die stam van Gad, die vrystad vir hom wat 'n doodslag begaan het: Ramot in G¡lead met sy weiveld, en Mahan im met sy weiveld,
39 Hesbon met sy weiveld, Ja,ser met sy weiveld: alles saam vier stede.
40 Al die stede was vir die kinders van Mer ri, volgens hulle geslagte wat nog oor was uit die geslagte van die Leviete; en hulle lot was twaalf stede.
41 Al die stede van die Leviete, tussen die besitting van die kinders van Israel in, was agt en veertig stede met hulle weiveld.
42 Hierdie stede het stad vir stad rondom hulle weiveld gehad; so was dit met al hierdie stede.
43 So het die HERE dan die hele land aan Israel gegee wat Hy hulle vaders met 'n eed beloof het om hulle te gee; en hulle het dit in besit geneem en daarin gaan woon.
44 En die HERE het hulle aan alle kante rus gegee net soos Hy hulle vaders met 'n eed beloof het; en niemand van al hul vyande het voor hulle standgehou nie; al hulle vyande het die HERE in hulle hand gegee.
45 Geen woord van al die goeie woorde wat die HERE met die huis van Israel gespreek het, het onvervuld gebly nie; alles het uitgekom.
