Joshua 21
1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Kemudian para pemimpin suku Lewi datang kepada Imam Besar Eleazar, Yosua, dan para pemimpin suku-suku Israel lainnya di Silo, di negeri Kanaan. Kata mereka, “TUHAN sudah memerintahkan Musa untuk memberikan kota-kota kepada kami sebagai tempat tinggal, dan padang rumput untuk ternak kami.”
2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
Maka orang Israel memberikan kota-kota dan padang rumput dari wilayah mereka kepada suku Lewi, sesuai perintah TUHAN.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [who were] of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
Undian pembagian tanah pertama diberikan kepada marga Kehat dalam suku Lewi. Keturunan Imam Harun mendapat tiga belas kota dari suku Yehuda, Simeon, dan Benyamin.
5 And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
Keturunan marga Kehat lainnya mendapat sepuluh kota dari suku Efraim, suku Dan, dan separuh suku Manasye di barat.

Marga Merari menerima dua belas kota dari suku Ruben, Gad, dan Zebulon.
8 And the children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Demikianlah orang Israel memberikan kota-kota dan padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak kepada orang-orang Lewi dengan cara undian, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here] mentioned by name,
Keturunan Imam Harun dari marga Kehat menerima undian yang pertama.

Kota Hebron, yang terletak di pegunungan suku Yehuda, adalah kota perlindungan bagi orang-orang yang tidak sengaja membunuh. Kota ini juga disebut Kiryat Arba. Arba adalah nenek moyang raksasa Anakim. Keturunan Imam Harun diberi padang rumput di sekeliling kota itu, tetapi tidak termasuk tanah ladang kota dan desa-desa di sekitarnya, karena daerah itu sudah diberikan kepada Kaleb. Kota-kota dari suku Benyamin adalah Gibeon, Geba, Anatot, dan Almon.

11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak (which [city is] Hebron) in the hill -[country] of Judah, with its suburbs round it.
12 But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.

Kota-kota dari separuh suku Manasye adalah Golan di Basan, yang adalah kota perlindungan bagi orang yang tidak sengaja membunuh, dan Bestera.

Keturunan marga Merari dalam suku Lewi menerima dua belas kota serta padang rumput di sekitarnya untuk menggembalakan ternak: empat kota dari suku Zebulon, empat kota dari suku Ruben, dan empat kota dari suku Gad. Kota-kota dari suku Zebulon adalah Yoknam, Karta, Dimna, dan Nahalal. Kota-kota dari suku Ruben adalah Bezer, Yahas, Kedemot, dan Mefaat. Kota-kota dari suku Gad adalah Ramot di Gilead, yaitu kota perlindungan untuk orang yang tidak segaja membunuh, Mahanaim, Hesbon, dan Yazer.

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot twelve cities.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
Jadi, suku Lewi menerima empat puluh delapan kota di tengah-tengah suku-suku Israel lainnya. Setiap kota dikelilingi oleh padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak. Padang-padang rumput itu juga diberikan kepada orang-orang Lewi.
42 These cities were every one with their suburbs around them. Thus [were] all these cities.
43 And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
Dengan demikian, TUHAN memberikan kepada bangsa Israel seluruh negeri, seperti yang sudah Dia janjikan dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Bangsa Israel menguasai negeri itu serta menetap di sana.
44 And the LORD gave them rest on all sides, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
TUHAN memberi mereka ketenangan, sesuai dengan sumpah-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka. Tidak ada satu pun musuh yang bisa melawan mereka. TUHAN menyerahkan semua musuh ke dalam tangan mereka.
45 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Tiada satu pun janji TUHAN yang tidak digenapi kepada bangsa Israel. Dia menepati semua janji-Nya.
