约书亚记 21
1 那时，利未人的众族长来到祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚，并以色列各支派的族长面前，
The leaders of the tribe of Levi approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the Israelite tribes.
2 在迦南地的示罗对他们说：“从前耶和华借着摩西吩咐给我们城邑居住，并城邑的郊野可以牧养我们的牲畜。”
They spoke to them at Shiloh in Canaan, saying, “The Lord gave instructions through Moses to give us towns to live in, and pastures for our flocks.”
3 于是以色列人照耶和华所吩咐的，从自己的地业中，将以下所记的城邑和城邑的郊野给了利未人。
So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
4 为哥辖族拈阄：利未人的祭司、亚伦的子孙，从犹大支派、西缅支派、便雅悯支派的地业中，按阄得了十三座城。

So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.

The Lord gave them peace on every side as he had promised their ancestors. Not a single one of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord had handed their enemies over to them to defeat.
45 耶和华应许赐福给以色列家的话一句也没有落空，都应验了。
Not a single one of the good things the Lord promised Israel had failed; everything had come true.
