³⁶ And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its suburbs, and Jahaz with its suburbs,

³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs,

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of 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 it was with all these cities.

⁴³ So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

³⁴ And to the family of the sons of Merari the Levites that remained, he gave out of the tribe of Zabulon, Maan and its suburbs; and Cades and its suburbs,

³⁵ and Sella and its suburbs: three cities.

³⁶ And beyond Jordan over against Jericho, out of the tribe of Ruben, the city of refuge for the slayer, Bosor in the wilderness; Miso and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs;

³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad the city of refuge for the slayer, both Ramoth in Galaad, and its suburbs; Camin and its suburbs;

³⁹ and Esbon and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs: the cities were four in all.

⁴⁰ All these cities were given to the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities.

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, were forty-eight cities,

⁴² and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities:

^42a and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders:

^42b and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasachar in mount Ephraim;

^42c and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it:

^42d and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.

⁴³ So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and dwelt in it.

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,

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.

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.

³⁷ And out of the tribe of Gad the city of refuge for the slayer, both Ramoth in Galaad, and its suburbs; Camin and its suburbs; and Esbon and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs: the cities were four in all.

³⁸ All these cities were given to the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities.

³⁹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, were forty-eight cities,

⁴⁰ and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities: and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders: and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasachar in mount Ephraim; and Joshua built the city, and lived in it: and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.

⁴¹ So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and lived in it.

⁴² And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.

⁴³ There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.

⁴² These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus it was with all these cities.

⁴³ So the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

³⁴ The other descendants of Levi, the ones who belonged to the Merari clans, were also allotted towns and their surrounding pasturelands. From the area that had been allotted to the tribe of Zebulun they were allotted four cities. They were Jokneam, Kartah,

³⁹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, were forty-eight cities,

⁴² Every one of these towns had grass-lands round it.

⁴³ So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

³⁴ And to the families of the children of Merari, that remained of the Levites, they gave out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and its suburbs, Kartah and its suburbs,

³⁵ Dimnah and its suburbs, Nahalal and its suburbs: four cities;

³⁶ and out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer and its suburbs, and Jahzah and its suburbs,

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.

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites — forty and eight cities with the open land about them — shall be in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel,

⁴² even these cities, every one with the open land round about it; thus it shall be with all these cities.

⁴² and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities:

^42a and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders:

^42b and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Timnath-serah in Mount Ephraim;

^42c and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it:

^42d and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Timnath-serah.

³⁴ To the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasture lands, Kartah with its pasture lands,

³⁵ Dimnah with its pasture lands, and Nahalal with its pasture lands: four cities.

³⁶ Out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its pasture lands, Jahaz with its pasture lands,

³⁷ Kedemoth with its pasture lands, and Mephaath with its pasture lands: four cities.

³⁸ Out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its pasture lands, the city of refuge for the man slayer, and Mahanaim with its pasture lands,

³⁹ Heshbon with its pasture lands, Jazer with its pasture lands: four cities in all.

⁴⁰ All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites. Their lot was twelve cities.

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites amongst the possessions of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasture lands.

⁴² Each of these cities included their pasture lands around them. It was this way with all these cities.

⁴³ So the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.

³⁴ Soothly to the sons of Merari, deacons or Levites of the lower degree, by their meines, was given Jokneam, of the lineage of Zebulun, and Kartah,

³⁵ and Dimnah, and Nahalal; four cities, with their suburbs.

³⁶ And of the lineage of Gad, he gave the city of refuge, Ramoth in Gilead, and Mahanaim,

³⁷ and Heshbon, and Jazer; four cities, with their suburbs.

³⁸ And of the lineage of Reuben, beyond Jordan, against Jericho, he gave the city of refuge, Bezer in the wilderness of Mizar, and Jahazah,

³⁹ and Kedemoth, and Mephaath; four cities, with their suburbs.

⁴⁰ All the cities given to the sons of Merari, by their meines and kindreds, were twelve.

⁴¹ And so all the cities of Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were eight and forty, with their suburbs;

⁴² and all cities were parted by meines.

⁴³ And the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore himself to give to their fathers, and they had it in possession, and dwelled therein.

³⁴ Soothly to the sons of Merari, deacons of the lower degree, by their families, was given Jokneam, (out) of the lineage of Zebulun, and Kartah, (And to the Merarites, Levites of the lower degree, by their families, from the tribe of Zebulun, he gave Jokneam, and Kartah,)

³⁵ and Dimnah, and Nahalal; four cities, with their suburbs.

³⁶ And (out) of the lineage of Gad, he gave the city of refuge, Ramoth in Gilead, and Mahanaim,

³⁷ and Heshbon, and Jazer; four cities, with their suburbs.

³⁸ And (out) of the lineage of Reuben, beyond (the) Jordan, against Jericho, (or And from the tribe of Reuben, on the eastern side of the Jordan River, near Jericho), he gave the city of refuge, Bezer in the wilderness of Mizar, and Jahazah,

³⁹ and Kedemoth, and Mephaath; four cities, with their suburbs.

⁴⁰ (So) All the cities given to the sons of Merari, by their families and kindreds, were twelve (cities).

⁴¹ And so all the cities of (the) Levites, in the midst of the possession(s) of the sons of Israel, were eight and forty (cities), with their suburbs;

⁴² and all (these) cities were parted by families. (and all these cities were divided up among the families.)

⁴³ And the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore himself to give to their fathers, and they had it in possession, and dwelled therein (or and lived there).

³⁴ And for the families of the sons of Merari, the Levites, who are left, are, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and its suburbs, Kartah and its suburbs,

³⁵ Dimnah and its suburbs, Nahalal and its suburbs — four cities.

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

³⁷ Kedemoth and its suburbs, and Mephaath and its suburbs — four cities.

³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad, the city of refuge for the man-slayer, Ramoth in Gilead and its suburbs, and Mahanaim and its suburbs,

³⁹ Heshbon and its suburbs, Jazer and its suburbs — in all four cities.

⁴⁰ All the cities for the sons of Merari, for their families, who are left of the families of the Levites — their lot is twelve cities.

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel are forty and eight cities, and their suburbs.

⁴² These cities are each city and its suburbs round about it; so to all these cities.

⁴³ And Jehovah giveth to Israel the whole of the land which He hath sworn to give to their fathers, and they possess it, and dwell in it;
