chapter 21
1
Then
the princes of the families of Levi came to Eleazar the priest, and to Josue
the son of Nun, and to the princes of the kindreds of all the tribes of the
children of Israel:
2 And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of
Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should
be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave out of their possessions
according to the commandment of the Lord, cities and their suburbs.
4 And the lot came out for the family of Caath of the
children of Aaron the priest out of the tribes of Juda, and of Simeon, and of
Benjamin, thirteen cities.
5 And to the rest of the children of Caath, that is, to
the Levites, who remained, out of the tribes of Ephraim, and of Dan, and the
half tribe of Manasses, ten cities.
6 And the lot came out to the children of Gerson, that
they should take of the tribes of Issachar and of Aser and of Nephtali, and of
the half tribe of Manasses in Basan, thirteen cities.
7 And to the sons of Merari by their kindreds, of the
tribes of Ruben and or Cad and of Zabulon, twelve cities.
8 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the
cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, giving to
every one by lot.
9 Of the tribes of the children of Juda and of Simeon
Josue gave cities: whose names are these,
10 To the sons of Aaron, of the families of Caath of
the race of Levi (for the first lot came out for them)
11 The city of Arbe the father of Enac, which is called
Hebron, in the mountain of Juda, and the suburbs thereof round about.
12 But the fields and the villages thereof he had given
to Caleb the son of Jephone for his possession.
13 He gave therefore to the children of Aaron the
priest, Hebron a city of refuge, and the suburbs thereof: and Lobna with the
suburbs thereof,
14 And Jether and Estemo,
15 And Holon, and Dabir,
16 And Ain, and Jeta, and Bethsames, with their suburbs
: nine cities out of the two tribes, as hath been said.
17 And out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin,
Gabaon, and Gabae,
18 And Anathoth and Almon, with their suburbs: four
cities.
19 All the cities together of the children of Aaron the
priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.
20 And to the rest of the families of the children of
Caath of the race of Levi was given this possession.
21 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Sichem one of the cities of
refuge, with the suburbs thereof in mount Ephraim, and Cater,
22 And Cibsaim, and Beth-horon, with their suburbs,
four cities.
23 And of the tribe of Dan, Eltheco and Gabathon,
24 And Aialon and Gethremmon, with their suburbs, four
cities.
25 And of the half tribe of Manasses, Thanac and
Gethremmon, with their suburbs, two cities.
26 All the cities were ten, with their suburbs, which
were given to the children of Caath, of the inferior degree.
27 To the children of Gerson also of the race of Levi
out of the half tribe of Manasses, Gaulon in Basan, one of the cities of
refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities.
28 And of the tribe of Issachar, Cesion, and Dabereth,
29 And Jaramoth, and Engannim, with their suburbs, four
cities.
30 And of the tribe of Aser, Masal and Abdon,
31And Helcath, and Rohob, with their suburbs, four
cities.
32 Of the tribe also of Nephtali, Cedes in Galilee, one
of the cities of refuge: and Hammoth Dor, and Carthan, with their suburbs,
three cities.
33 All the cities of the families of Gerson, were
thirteen, with their suburbs.
34 And to the children of Merari, Levites of the
inferior degree, by their families were given of the tribe of Zabulon, Jecnam
and Cartha,
35 And Damna and Naalol, four cities with their
suburbs;
36 Of the tribe of Ruben beyond the Jordan over against
Jericho, Bosor in the wilderness, one of the cities of refuge, Miser and Jaser
and Jethson and Mephaath, four cities with their suburbs.
37 Of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Galaad, one of the
cities of refuge, and Manaim and Hesebon and Jaser, four cities with their
suburbs.
38 All the cities of the children of Merari by their
families and kindreds, were twelve.
39 So all the cities of the Levites within the
possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight,
40 With their suburbs, each distributed by the
families.
41 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he
had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
42 And he gave them peace from all nations round about:
and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under
their dominion.
43 Not so much as one word, which he had promised to
perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.
