Joshua 21
1 The leaders of the tribe of Levi approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the Israelite tribes.
Báyìí ni olórí ìdílé àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ bá Eleasari àlùfáà, Joṣua ọmọ Nuni àti olórí ẹ̀yà àwọn ìdílé ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
2 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.”
Ní Ṣilo, ní Kenaani, wọn sọ fún wọn pé, “Olúwa pàṣẹ nípasẹ̀ Mose pé kí wọn fún wa ní ìlú láti máa gbé àti ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù fún ẹran ọ̀sìn wa.”
3 So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní àwọn ìlú wọ̀nyí, àti ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù lára ilẹ̀ ìní tiwọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
4 The lot was cast for the families of the Kothaites. These Levites, descendants of Aaron, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

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

Ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ìlú wọ̀nyí ni ó ni ilẹ̀ pápá oko tí ó yí ì ká, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ló rí fún gbogbo ìlú wọ̀nyí.
43 And so the Lord gave to the Israelites all the land he had promised their ancestors. They took possession of it and settled there.
