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].”
Então os chefes das casas dos pais dos levitas se aproximaram de Eleazar, o sacerdote, e de Josué, o filho de Freira, e dos chefes das casas dos pais das tribos dos filhos de Israel.
Eles falaram com eles em Shiloh, na terra de Canaã, dizendo: “Javé ordenou através de Moisés que nos dessem cidades para morar, com suas terras de pasto para nosso gado”.
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
Os filhos de Israel deram aos Levitas, de sua herança, de acordo com o mandamento de Javé, estas cidades com suas terras de pasto.
4 [First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
O lote saiu para as famílias dos Kohathitas. Os filhos de Aarão, o sacerdote, que eram dos levitas, tinham treze cidades por sorteio da tribo de Judá, da tribo dos simeonitas e da tribo de Benjamim.
