While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
2 I rekoše im u Šilu, u zemlji kanaanskoj: “Jahve je zapovjedio preko Mojsija da nam se dadu gradovi gdje ćemo živjeti i pašnjaci oko njih za našu stoku.”
