Joshua 21
1 Then the princes of the families of Levi came to Eleazar the priest, and to Josue the son of Nun, and to the princes of the kindreds of all the tribes of the children of Israel:
Pada suatu hari para kepala keluarga dalam suku Lewi pergi ke Silo di negeri Kanaan, dan menghadap Imam Eleazar, Yosua anak Nun, dan para kepala keluarga seluruh suku-suku bangsa Israel. Mereka berkata, "Melalui Musa, TUHAN sudah memerintahkan supaya kepada kami, orang-orang Lewi, diberi kota-kota untuk tempat tinggal kami dan tanah-tanah padang di sekitar kota-kota itu untuk ternak kami."
2 And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave out of their possessions according to the commandment of the Lord, cities and their suburbs.
Maka orang Israel mengikuti perintah TUHAN. Dari tanah milik mereka sendiri, mereka memberikan kepada orang Lewi kota-kota tertentu dengan tanah-tanah padangnya.
4 And the lot came out for the family of Caath of the children of Aaron the priest out of the tribes of Juda, and of Simeon, and of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
Yang pertama-tama menerima kota-kotanya adalah keluarga-keluarga dari kaum Kehat dalam suku Lewi. Keluarga-keluarga keturunan Imam Harun diberikan tiga belas kota dari wilayah suku Yehuda, Simeon dan Benyamin.

42 With their suburbs, each distributed by the families.
43 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
Demikianlah TUHAN memberikan kepada umat Israel seluruh tanah yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Setelah menduduki negeri itu, umat Israel menetap di sana.
44 And he gave them peace from all nations round about: and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under their dominion.
Maka sesuai dengan apa yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyang mereka, negeri itu aman karena dilindungi TUHAN. Musuh-musuh mereka tidak satu pun yang dapat melawan mereka, sebab TUHAN memberi kemenangan kepada orang Israel atas semua musuh mereka.
45 Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.
TUHAN menepati setiap janji-Nya kepada umat Israel; tidak satu pun yang tidak ditepati-Nya.
