分給利未人的城邑
21 1-2 利未人的眾族長到迦南的示羅見祭司以利亞撒、嫩的兒子約書亞和以色列各支派的首領,說:「耶和華藉著摩西曾吩咐你們把一些城邑分給我們住,讓我們可以在城郊牧養牲畜。」 3 以色列人便按照耶和華的吩咐,從他們的產業中把以下的城邑及城郊分給了利未人。
4 利未人哥轄宗族中大祭司亞倫的子孫從猶大、西緬和便雅憫支派的產業中抽籤得了十三座城。 5 哥轄宗族中其他的人也從以法蓮、但和瑪拿西半個支派的產業中抽籤得了十座城。 6 革順的子孫從以薩迦、亞設、拿弗他利和在巴珊的瑪拿西半個支派的產業中抽籤得了十三座城。 7 米拉利的子孫按宗族從呂便、迦得和西布倫支派的產業中抽籤得了十二座城。
8 以色列人照耶和華對摩西的吩咐,把這些城邑及其草場用抽籤的方式分給利未人。
9-10 利未支派哥轄宗族中亞倫的子孫得到第一籤,以下是從猶大和西緬兩支派的產業中抽出來分給他們的土地: 11 猶大山區的基列·亞巴及其草場,亞巴原是亞衲人的祖先,基列·亞巴就是希伯崙。 12 而城周圍的田地和鄉村已經分給耶孚尼的兒子迦勒作產業。
13 以色列人把避難城希伯崙分給祭司亞倫的子孫,並把立拿、 14 雅提珥、以實提莫、 15 何崙、底璧、 16 亞因、淤他、伯·示麥共九座城及其草場分給了他們。這都是從猶大和西緬兩支派分出來的。 17 從便雅憫支派的產業中分給他們的城有:基遍、迦巴、 18 亞拿突、亞勒們四座城及其草場。 19 亞倫的子孫中做祭司的共分到十三座城邑及其草場。
20 利未人哥轄宗族其他的子孫從以法蓮支派的產業中分到的城邑有: 21 以法蓮山區的避難城示劍,基色、 22 基伯先和伯·和崙共四座城及其草場。 23 從但支派的產業中分給他們的城邑有:伊利提基、基比頓、 24 亞雅崙和迦特·臨門四座城及其草場。 25 他們從瑪拿西半個支派的產業中分到他納和迦特·臨門兩座城及其草場。 26 以上是哥轄其他的子孫所分到的十座城及其草場。
27 以色列人分給利未支派中革順子孫的城邑有:瑪拿西半個支派中巴珊的哥蘭避難城和比·施提拉及其草場,共兩座城; 28 以薩迦支派的基善、大比拉、 29 耶末、隱·干寧四座城及其草場; 30 亞設支派的米沙勒、押頓、 31 黑甲、利合四座城及其草場; 32 拿弗他利支派的哈末·多珥、加珥坦和加利利的避難城基低斯三座城及其草場。 33 革順人按宗族共分到十三座城邑及其草場。 34 其餘的利未人,就是米拉利的子孫所分到的城邑有:西布倫支派的約念、加珥他、 35 丁拿、拿哈拉四座城及其草場; 36 呂便支派的比悉、雅雜、 37 基底莫、米法押四座城及其草場; 38 迦得支派的瑪哈念、基列的避難城拉末、 39 希實本、雅謝四座城及其草場。 40 利未人中米拉利的子孫按宗族所分到的城邑共有十二座。
41 利未人從以色列各支派共分到四十八座城及其草場, 42 這些城周圍都有草場,城城如此。
43 這樣,耶和華把從前起誓賜給以色列人祖先的整個地區都賜給了以色列人,以色列人都分到土地,住了下來。 44 耶和華照著給他們祖先的應許,使他們四境安寧,沒有仇敵能抵擋他們。耶和華將所有仇敵都交在了他們手中。 45 耶和華給以色列人的美好應許沒有一句落空,全部實現了。

Towns for the Levites(A)
21 Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israel(B) 2 at Shiloh(C) in Canaan and said to them, “The Lord commanded through Moses that you give us towns(D) to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.”(E) 3 So, as the Lord had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 The first lot came out for the Kohathites,(F) according to their clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.(G) 5 The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and half of Manasseh.(H)
6 The descendants of Gershon(I) were allotted thirteen towns from the clans of the tribes of Issachar,(J) Asher,(K) Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7 The descendants of Merari,(L) according to their clans, received twelve(M) towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.(N)
8 So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name 10 (these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):
11 They gave them Kiriath Arba(O) (that is, Hebron(P)), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.) 12 But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.(Q)
13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (a city of refuge(R) for one accused of murder), Libnah,(S) 14 Jattir,(T) Eshtemoa,(U) 15 Holon,(V) Debir,(W) 16 Ain,(X) Juttah(Y) and Beth Shemesh,(Z) together with their pasturelands—nine towns from these two tribes.
17 And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon,(AA) Geba,(AB) 18 Anathoth(AC) and Almon, together with their pasturelands—four towns.
19 The total number of towns(AD) for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.(AE)
20 The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:
21 In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem(AF) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer,(AG) 22 Kibzaim and Beth Horon,(AH) together with their pasturelands—four towns.(AI)
23 Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,(AJ) 24 Aijalon(AK) and Gath Rimmon,(AL) together with their pasturelands—four towns.
25 From half the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach(AM) and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands—two towns.
26 All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.(AN)
27 The Levite clans of the Gershonites were given:
from the half-tribe of Manasseh,
Golan in Bashan(AO) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder(AP)) and Be Eshterah, together with their pasturelands—two towns;
28 from the tribe of Issachar,(AQ)
Kishion,(AR) Daberath,(AS) 29 Jarmuth(AT) and En Gannim,(AU) together with their pasturelands—four towns;
30 from the tribe of Asher,(AV)
32 from the tribe of Naphtali,
Kedesh(AZ) in Galilee (a city of refuge for one accused of murder(BA)), Hammoth Dor and Kartan, together with their pasturelands—three towns.
33 The total number of towns of the Gershonite(BB) clans came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.
34 The Merarite clans (the rest of the Levites) were given:
from the tribe of Zebulun,(BC)
Jokneam,(BD) Kartah, 35 Dimnah and Nahalal,(BE) together with their pasturelands—four towns;
36 from the tribe of Reuben,
38 from the tribe of Gad,
Ramoth(BI) in Gilead(BJ) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Mahanaim,(BK) 39 Heshbon and Jazer,(BL) together with their pasturelands—four towns in all.
40 The total number of towns allotted to the Merarite clans, who were the rest of the Levites, came to twelve.(BM)
41 The towns of the Levites in the territory held by the Israelites were forty-eight in all, together with their pasturelands.(BN) 42 Each of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it; this was true for all these towns.
43 So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors,(BO) and they took possession(BP) of it and settled there.(BQ) 44 The Lord gave them rest(BR) on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies(BS) withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies(BT) into their hands.(BU) 45 Not one of all the Lord’s good promises(BV) to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.
