Josua 21
1 Da gik Øversterne for Leviternes Fædrenehuse frem til Eleasar, Præsten, og til Josva, Nuns Søn, og til Øversterne for Fædrenehusene blandt Israels Børns Stammer,
And the leaders of the families of Levi approached Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the rulers of the extended families of each of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
2 og de talede til dem i Silo i Kanaans Land og sagde: Herren bød ved Mose, at man skulde give os Stæder at bo udi og deres Marker til vort Kvæg.
And they spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, and they said, “The Lord instructed, by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given to us as habitations, with their suburbs to nourish our cattle.”

And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with the order of the Lord.

8 Saa gave Israels Børn Leviterne ved Lodkastning disse Stæder og deres Marker, ligesom Herren havde budet ved Mose.
And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs to the Levites, just as the Lord instructed by the hand of Moses, distributing to each by lot.
9 Og de gave dem af Judas Børns Stamme og af Simeons Børns Stamme disse Stæder, som man nævnede ved Navn.
From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:
10 Og Arons Børn af Kahathiternes Slægter, af Levi Børn, fik disse — thi den første Lod var deres —
to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them, )

And he gave them peace with all the surrounding nations. And none of their enemies dared to stand against them; instead, they were brought under their sovereignty.
45 Der blev ikke et Ord til intet af alle de gode Ord, som Herren havde talet til Israels Hus, det opfyldtes alt sammen.
Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.
