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].”
Los jefes de las familias de los levitas se acercaron al sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, hijo de Nun, y a las cabezas de las familias de las tribus de los hijos de Israel,
y hablaron con ellos en Silo, en el país de Canaán, diciendo: “Yahvé mandó por boca de Moisés que se nos diesen ciudades donde habitar, con sus ejidos para nuestro ganado.”
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
Dieron los hijos de Israel de sus propias herencias, conforme a la orden de Yahvé, estas ciudades con sus ejidos a los levitas.
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.
Salió la (primera) suerte para las familias de los caatitas: y así los hijos del sacerdote Aarón de entre los levitas obtuvieron por suerte trece ciudades de parte de la tribu de Judá, de la tribu de Simeón y de la tribu de Benjamín.
5 To the other members of the Kohath clan they allotted ten cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh [that lives on the west side of the Jordan River].
Los restantes hijos de Caat obtuvieron por suerte diez ciudades de parte de las familias de la tribu de Efraím, de la tribu de Dan y de la mitad de la tribu de Manasés.
6 The people from the Gershon clans were allotted 13 cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh that lives on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Los hijos de Gersón obtuvieron por suerte trece ciudades de parte de las familias de la tribu de Isacar, de la tribu de Aser, de la tribu de Neftalí y de la mitad de la tribu de Manasés en Basan.
7 The people from the Merari clans were allotted twelve cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Los hijos de Merarí obtuvieron, según sus familias, doce ciudades de parte de la tribu de Rubén, de la tribu de Gad y de la tribu de Zabulón.
8 So the Israeli leaders gave cities and pastureland to the tribe of Levi, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses that they should do.
Dieron, pues, los hijos de Israel por suerte estas ciudades con sus ejidos a los levitas, como Yahvé había mandado por boca de Moisés.
9 These are the names of the cities and surrounding pasturelands that were allotted to them, that were in the areas where the tribes of Judah and Simeon lived.

11 They allotted to them Kiriath-Arba (which is [now named] Hebron), in the hilly area of Judah. Arba received its name because Arba was the ancestor of [the giants of] the Anak people-group.
Les dieron la ciudad de Arbá, padre de Enac, o sea Hebrón, situada en la montaña de Judá, con sus ejidos en derredor de ella.
