1Then the leading fathers of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leading fathers of the tribes of the people of Israel.[#21:1 is a common title for the ruling elders among the Israelites.]
2When they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, they said, “The Lord commanded through Moses to give us cities to live in, together with their pasturelands for our livestock.”
3So from their own inheritance the people of Israel gave to the Levites these cities and their pasturelands according to the command of the Lord .
4The clans of Kohath, one of the descendants of Levi, received the first lot. Those who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot thirteen cities from the tribes of Judah, from the Simeonites, and from the tribe of Benjamin.
5The remaining Kohathites received by lot ten cities from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
6The descendants of Gershon received by lot thirteen cities from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7The descendants of Merari according to their clans received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
8The people of Israel assigned cities and their pasturelands to the Levites by lot, just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
9The tribe of the descendants of Judah and the tribe of the descendants of Simeon gave the cities, named below
10to the descendants of Aaron, who were from the Kohathite clan of the people of Levi, because the first lot was theirs.
20For the rest of the clans of the Levites descended from Kohath the cities of their allotment came from the tribe of Ephraim.
27To the descendants of Gershon, one of the clans of the Levites, these cities were given.
34To the clans of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, these cities were given.
41So all the cities of the Levites within the possession of the descendants of Israel totaled forty-eight cities and their pasturelands.
42These cities consisted of each city and its pasturelands that surround it. It was that way for all these cities.
43So the Lord gave to Israel all of the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers. They took possession of it and lived in it.
44The Lord gave them rest all around, in fulfillment of everything that he had sworn to their fathers. Not one person out of all their enemies had withstood them. The Lord had given all their enemies into their hands.
45Not one promise out of all the good promises that the Lord had promised to the house of Israel failed. They all came true![#21:45 Literally fell]
