Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,“ Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their equipment and for all their other animals.“ The pasture lands of the cities which you are to give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall provide for the one who commits manslaughter to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty two cities.The total number of the cities which you are to give to the Levites shall be forty eight cities, together with their pasture lands.As for the cities which you shall give them from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger, and you shall take fewer from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his inheritance which he possesses.”

Then the heads of fathers’ households of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying,“ The Lord commanded through Moses to give us cities to live in, with their pasture lands for our cattle.”So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, in accordance with the command of the Lord.Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And to the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, thirteen cities were given by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeonites, and from the tribe of Benjamin.And to the rest of the sons of Kohath ten cities were given by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half tribe of Manasseh.And to the sons of Gershon thirteen cities were given by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.To the sons of Merari according to their families twelve cities were given from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.Now the sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasture lands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.They gave these cities which are mentioned here by name from the tribe of the sons of Judah and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon;and they were for the sons of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, of the sons of Levi, because the lot was theirs first.So they gave them Kiriath arba( Arba being the father of Anak), that is, Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with its surrounding pasture lands.But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.So to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Libnah with its pasture lands,Jattir with its pasture lands, Eshtemoa with its pasture lands,Holon with its pasture lands, Debir with its pasture lands,Ain with its pasture lands, Juttah with its pasture lands, and Beth shemesh with its pasture lands; nine cities from these two tribes.From the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its pasture lands, Geba with its pasture lands,Anathoth with its pasture lands, and Almon with its pasture lands; four cities.All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their pasture lands.Then the cities from the tribe of Ephraim were allotted to the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, that is, to the rest of the sons of Kohath.They gave them Shechem, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, in the hill country of Ephraim, and Gezer with its pasture lands,and Kibzaim with its pasture lands, and Beth horon with its pasture lands; four cities.And from the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasture lands, Gibbethon with its pasture lands,Aijalon with its pasture lands, Gath rimmon with its pasture lands; four cities.From the half tribe of Manasseh, they allotted Taanach with its pasture lands and Gath rimmon with its pasture lands; two cities.All the cities with their pasture lands for the families of the rest of the sons of Kohath were ten.And to the sons of Gershon, one of the families of the Levites, from the half tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, and Be eshterah with its pasture lands; two cities.And from the tribe of Issachar they gave Kishion with its pasture lands, Daberath with its pasture lands,Jarmuth with its pasture lands, and En gannim with its pasture lands; four cities.From the tribe of Asher, they gave Mishal with its pasture lands, Abdon with its pasture lands,Helkath with its pasture lands, and Rehob with its pasture lands; four cities.And from the tribe of Naphtali, they gave Kedesh in Galilee, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Hammoth dor with its pasture lands, and Kartan with its pasture lands; three cities.All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their pasture lands.And to the families of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasture lands, Kartah with its pasture lands,Dimnah with its pasture lands, and Nahalal with its pasture lands; four cities.From the tribe of Reuben they gave Bezer with its pasture lands, Jahaz with its pasture lands,Kedemoth with its pasture lands, and Mephaath with its pasture lands; four cities.And from the tribe of Gad, they gave Ramoth in Gilead, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Mahanaim with its pasture lands,Heshbon with its pasture lands, and Jazer with its pasture lands; four cities in all.All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty eight cities with their pasture lands.These cities individually had their surrounding pasture lands; this is how it was with all these cities.So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and lived in it.And the Lord gave them rest on every side, in accordance with everything that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord handed all their enemies over to them.Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; everything came to pass.
