1~~Then
came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites
unto
Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun,
and
unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes
of
the children of Israel;
2
And they spoke unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying,
"Jehovah/God
commanded by the hand of Moses
to
give us cities to dwell in,
with
the suburbs thereof for our cattle."
3
And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their
inheritance, at the commandment of the Jehovah/God,
these
cities and their suburbs.
4
And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites
and
the children of Aaron the priest,
who
were of the Levites,
had
by lot out of the tribe of Judah,
and
out of the tribe of Simeon,
and
out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
5
And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot

and
out of the tribe of the children of Simeon,
these
cities which are here mentioned by name, 10

11
And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak,

12
But the fields of the city,

33
All the cities of the Gershonites

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.
{Chapter
21:43 Joshua Preached Grace}
43~~And
Jehovah/God gave unto Israel all the land
which
he swore to give unto their fathers;
and
they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44
And the Jehovah/God gave them rest round about,
according
to all that He swore unto their fathers
and
there stood not a man of all their enemies before them;
Jehovah/God
delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45~~There
failed not nothing
{double negative is a stronger negative in Hebrew}
of
any good thing which Jehovah/God
had
spoken unto the house of Israel.
All
came to pass.
