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

2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah has commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their common lands for our cattle.

3 And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the mouth of Jehovah, these cities and their common lands:

4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.

5 The rest of the sons of Kohath had ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.

6 And the sons of Gershon had thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7 The sons of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.

8 And the sons of Israel gave these cities with their common lands by lot to the Levites, as Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses.

9 And they gave from the tribe of the sons of Judah and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,

10 which were for the sons of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the sons of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.

11 And they gave them Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common land surrounding it.

12 But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

13 Thus to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common land (a city of refuge for the slayer), and Libnah with its common land,

14 Jattir with its common land, Eshtemoa with its common land,

15 Holon with its common land, Debir with its common land,

16 Ain with its common land, Juttah with its common land, and Beth Shemesh with its common land: nine cities from those two tribes;

17 and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common land, Geba with its common land,

18 Anathoth with its common land, and Almon with its common land: four cities.

19 All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common lands.

20 And the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, the rest of the sons of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot from the tribe of Ephraim.

21 For they gave them Shechem with its common land in the mountains of Ephraim (a city of refuge for the slayer), Gezer with its common land,

22 Kibzaim with its common land, and Beth Horon with its common land: four cities;

23 and from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with its common land, Gibbethon with its common land,

24 Aijalon with its common land, and Gath Rimmon with its common land: four cities;

25 and from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with its common land and Gath Rimmon with its common land: two cities.

26 All the ten cities with their common lands were for the rest of the families of the sons of Kohath.

27 Also to the sons of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, from the other half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan with its common land (a city of refuge for the slayer), and Be Eshterah with its common land: two cities;

28 and from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its common land, Daberath with its common land,

29 Jarmuth with its common land, and En Gannim with its common land: four cities;

30 and from the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its common land, Abdon with its common land,

31 Helkath with its common land, and Rehob with its common land: four cities;

32 and from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its common land (a city of refuge for the slayer), Hammoth Dor with its common land, and Kartan with its common land: three cities.

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

34 And to the families of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its common land, Kartah with its common land,

35 Dimnah with its common land, and Nahalal with its common land: four cities;

36 and from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its common land, Jahaz with its common land,

37 Kedemoth with its common land, and Mephaath with its common land: four cities;

38 and from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its common land (a city of refuge for the slayer), Mahanaim with its common land,

39 Heshbon with its common land, and Jazer with its common land: four cities in all.

40 So all the cities for the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest 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-eight cities with their common lands.

42 Every one of these cities had its common land surrounding it; thus were all these cities.

43 Thus Jehovah gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.

44 And Jehovah gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.

45 Not a word failed of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

As cidades da tribo de Levi

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 Silo, 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 Pelo que os filhos de Israel deram aos levitas da sua herança, conforme ao dito do Senhor, estas cidades e os seus arrabaldes. 4 E saiu a sorte pelas famílias dos coatitas: e aos filhos de Aarão, o sacerdote, dentre os levitas, caíram 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 caíram 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, caíram 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 nomeadas, 10 Para que fossem dos filhos de Aarão, 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 Anoque (esta é Hebrom), no monte de Judá, e os seus arrabaldes em redor dela. 12 Porém o campo da cidade, e as suas aldeias, deram a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, por sua possessão. 13 Assim aos filhos de Aarão, o sacerdote, deram a cidade de refúgio do homicida, Hebrom, e os seus arrabaldes, e Libna, e os seus arrabaldes; 14 E Jatir, e os seus arrabaldes, e Estmoa, e os seus arrabaldes; 15 E Colom, e os seus arrabaldes, e Debir, e os seus arrabaldes, 16 E Aim, e os seus arrabaldes, e Juta, e os seus arrabaldes, e Bete-Semes, e os seus arrabaldes: nove cidades destas duas tribos. 17 E da tribo de Benjamim, Gibeom, 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 Aarão, 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 Quibsaim, e os seus arrabaldes, e Beterom, e os seus arrabaldes: quatro cidades. 23 E da tribo de Dã Elteque, e os seus arrabaldes, Gibetom, e os seus arrabaldes; 24 Ajalom, e os seus arrabaldes, Gatrimom, e os seus arrabaldes: quatro cidades. 25 E da meia tribo de Manassés, Taanaque, e os seus arrabaldes, e Gatrimom, e os seus arrabaldes: duas cidades. 26 Todas 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, Golã da meia tribo de Manassés, cidade de refúgio do homicida, em Basã, e os seus arrabaldes, e Beestrá, e os seus arrabaldes: duas cidades. 28 E da tribo de Issacar, Quisjom, 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 Roobe, e os seus arrabaldes: quatro cidades. 32 E da tribo de Naftali, Quedes, cidade de refúgio do homicida, em Galileia, 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 demais filhos de Merari, dos levitas foram dadas da tribo de Zebulom. Jocneão e os seus arrabaldes, Cartá e os seus arrabaldes. 35 Dimná e os seus arrabaldes, Naalal e os seus arrabaldes: quatro cidades. 36 E da tribo de Rúben, Bezer, e os seus arrabaldes, e Jaaz, 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, Jaezer e os seus arrabaldes: por todas, quatro cidades. 40 Todas estas cidades foram dos filhos de Merari, segundo as suas famílias, que ainda restavam das famílias 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 qual com os seus arrabaldes em redor delas: assim estavam todas estas cidades. 43 Desta sorte 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 em redor, conforme a tudo quanto jurara a seus pais: e nenhum de todos os seus inimigos ficou em pé diante deles; todos os seus inimigos o Senhor deu na sua mão. 45 Palavra alguma falhou de todas as boas palavras que o Senhor falara à casa de Israel: tudo se cumpriu.
