Then the tribal leaders of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families of their ancestors within the people of Israel.

2 kama iluongo ni Shilo ei Kanaan mi giwachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nochiko kokalo kuom Musa ni mondo imiwa dalano mondo wadagie, kod kuonde ma jambwa nyalo kwayoe.”

They said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to live in, with the pasturelands for our livestock.”
