And the cities which you will give shall be from the possession of the children of Israel; from the larger tribe you shall give many, from the smaller you shall give few. Each shall give some of its cities to the Levites, in proportion to the inheritance that each receives.”

The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few.”

The towns you give the Levites must come from the land the Israelites have as their own. So the number you give from each tribe will depend on the size of that tribe’s share. Take many towns from a tribe that has many towns. But take only a few towns from a tribe that has only a few.”

And as for the cities that you shall give from the possession of the people of Israel, from the larger tribes you shall take many, and from the smaller tribes you shall take few; each, in proportion to the inheritance that it inherits, shall give of its cities to the Levites.”

These towns will come from the property of the people of Israel. The larger tribes will give more towns to the Levites, while the smaller tribes will give fewer. Each tribe will give property in proportion to the size of its land.”

Of the cities that you give from the Israelites’ territory, you should take more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. Each tribe is to give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance it receives.”

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.”

And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.

Of the cities that you give from the Israelites’ territory, you should take more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. Each tribe is to give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance it receives.”

And the cities which ye shall give[ shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from[ them that have] many ye shall give many; but from[ them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

The towns you will give must be from the possession of the Israelites. From the larger tribes you must give more; and from the smaller tribes fewer. Each must contribute some of its own towns to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance allocated to each.

Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many, and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites.”

To a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.

And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.Then Moses said,“ Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.”

Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob And scatter them in Israel.

And of Levi he said:“ Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one, Whom You tested at Massah, And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,Who says of his father and mother,‘ I have not seen them’; Nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children; For they have observed Your word And kept Your covenant.They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, And Israel Your law. They shall put incense before You, And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.Bless his substance, Lord, And accept the work of his hands; Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”

For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack— that there may be equality.

So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one’s need.

Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children 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 dwell in, with their common-lands for our livestock.”So the children of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their common-lands:Now the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.The rest of the children of Kohath had ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.And the children of Gershon had thirteen cities 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.The children of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.And the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.And they gave them Kirjath Arba( Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.Thus to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Libnah with its common-land,Jattir with its common-land, Eshtemoa with its common-land,Holon with its common-land, Debir with its common-land,Ain with its common-land, Juttah with its common-land, and Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes;and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common-land, Geba with its common-land,Anathoth with its common-land, and Almon with its common-land: four cities.All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common-lands.And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, the rest of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot from the tribe of Ephraim.For they gave them Shechem with its common-land in the mountains of Ephraim( a city of refuge for the slayer), Gezer with its common-land,Kibzaim with its common-land, and Beth Horon with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with its common-land, Gibbethon with its common-land,Aijalon with its common-land, and Gath Rimmon with its common-land: four cities;and from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with its common-land and Gath Rimmon with its common-land: two cities.All the ten cities with their common-lands were for the rest of the families of the children of Kohath.Also to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, from the other half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), and Be Eshterah with its common-land: two cities;and from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its common-land, Daberath with its common-land,Jarmuth with its common-land, and En Gannim with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its common-land, Abdon with its common-land,Helkath with its common-land, and Rehob with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Hammoth Dor with its common-land, and Kartan with its common-land: three cities.All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their common-lands.And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its common-land, Kartah with its common-land,Dimnah with its common-land, and Nahalal with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its common-land, Jahaz with its common-land,Kedemoth with its common-land, and Mephaath with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Mahanaim with its common-land,Heshbon with its common-land, and Jazer with its common-land: four cities in all.So all the cities for the children of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their common-lands.Every one of these cities had its common-land surrounding it; thus were all these cities.
