Lezi-ke zindawo zawo zokuhlala ezinqabeni zawo emingceleni yawo, zamadodana kaAroni, zezinsendo zamaKohathi; ngoba inkatho yayingeyawo.

55 so they gave them Hebron, in the land of Judah, and the pasture lands thereof, round about it;

Basebewanika iHebroni elizweni lakoJuda, lamadlelo ayo ayizingelezeleyo.

56 but, the field-land of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb son of Jephunneh.

61 And, unto the rest of the sons of Kohath—of the families of the tribe of Ephraim and of the tribe of Dan, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, by lot ten cities.

Lamadodana kaKohathi, aseleyo kusendo lwesizwe, avela kungxenye yesizwe, ingxenye yakoManase, aba lemizi elitshumi, ngenkatho.

62 And, to the sons of Gershom, by their families—out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
