Joshua 21
1 Then the tribal leaders of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families of their ancestors within the people of Israel.
Los jefes de la tribu de Leví se acercaron al sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué hijo de Nun y a los jefes de las tribus israelitas.
2 They said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to live in, with the pasturelands for our livestock.”
Les hablaron en Silo, en Canaán, diciendo: “El Señor dio instrucciones por medio de Moisés de darnos ciudades para vivir y pastos para nuestros rebaños”.
3 So by the command of Yahweh, the people of Israel gave out of their inheritance the following cities, including their pasturelands, to the Levites.
Así que, siguiendo las instrucciones del Señor, los israelitas dieron ciudades y pastos a los levitas de sus propias asignaciones.
4 The casting of lots for the clans of the Kohathites gave this result: The priests—the descendants of Aaron who were from the Levites—received thirteen cities given from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.
Se echó la suerte a las familias de los ceutíes. A estos levitas, descendientes de Aarón, se les asignaron trece ciudades de las tribus de Judá, Simeón y Benjamín.

A las familias de los descendientes de Merari se les asignaron doce ciudades de las tribus de Rubén, Gad y Zabulón.
8 So the people of Israel gave, by casting lots, these cities (including their pasturelands) to the Levites, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Así los israelitas dieron a los levitas por sorteo estas ciudades y pastos, tal como el Señor lo había ordenado por medio de Moisés.
