Joshua 21
1 While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
肋未人各家長來見司祭厄肋阿匝爾和農竹旳兒子若蘇厄，以及以色列子民的族長，
在客納罕地的史羅對他們說：「上主曾藉梅瑟吩咐過，要給我們一些城市居住，一些郊區為牧放我們的牲畜。」
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
以色列子民於是按照上主的吩咐，由自己的產業中，將以下的城市和郊區分給了肋未。肋未人，屬大司祭亞郎的子孫，
