Joshua 21
1 Then came near the heads of the divisions of the Levites unto Elazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the divisions of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Kemudian para pemimpin suku Lewi datang kepada Imam Besar Eleazar, Yosua, dan para pemimpin suku-suku Israel lainnya di Silo, di negeri Kanaan. Kata mereka, “TUHAN sudah memerintahkan Musa untuk memberikan kota-kota kepada kami sebagai tempat tinggal, dan padang rumput untuk ternak kami.”
2 And they spoke unto them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give unto us cities to dwell in, with the open spaces thereof for our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites from their inheritance, at the order of the Lord, these cities and their open spaces.
Maka orang Israel memberikan kota-kota dan padang rumput dari wilayah mereka kepada suku Lewi, sesuai perintah TUHAN.

44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, all just as he had sworn unto their fathers: and there stood not up before them a man of all their enemies; all their enemies the Lord delivered into their hand.
TUHAN memberi mereka ketenangan, sesuai dengan sumpah-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka. Tidak ada satu pun musuh yang bisa melawan mereka. TUHAN menyerahkan semua musuh ke dalam tangan mereka.
45 There failed not aught of all the good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel: it all came to pass.
Tiada satu pun janji TUHAN yang tidak digenapi kepada bangsa Israel. Dia menepati semua janji-Nya.
