Joshua 21
1 And the heads of the fathers of the Levites draw nigh unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
Pada suatu hari para kepala keluarga dalam suku Lewi pergi ke Silo di negeri Kanaan, dan menghadap Imam Eleazar, Yosua anak Nun, dan para kepala keluarga seluruh suku-suku bangsa Israel. Mereka berkata, "Melalui Musa, TUHAN sudah memerintahkan supaya kepada kami, orang-orang Lewi, diberi kota-kota untuk tempat tinggal kami dan tanah-tanah padang di sekitar kota-kota itu untuk ternak kami."
2 and they speak unto them in Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, saying, 'Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for our cattle.'
3 And the sons of Israel give to the Levites, out of their inheritance, at the command of Jehovah, these cities and their suburbs:
Maka orang Israel mengikuti perintah TUHAN. Dari tanah milik mereka sendiri, mereka memberikan kepada orang Lewi kota-kota tertentu dengan tanah-tanah padangnya.

43 And Jehovah giveth to Israel the whole of the land which He hath sworn to give to their fathers, and they possess it, and dwell in it;
Demikianlah TUHAN memberikan kepada umat Israel seluruh tanah yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Setelah menduduki negeri itu, umat Israel menetap di sana.
44 and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about, according to all that which He hath sworn to their fathers, and there hath not stood a man in their presence of all their enemies, the whole of their enemies hath Jehovah given into their hand;
Maka sesuai dengan apa yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyang mereka, negeri itu aman karena dilindungi TUHAN. Musuh-musuh mereka tidak satu pun yang dapat melawan mereka, sebab TUHAN memberi kemenangan kepada orang Israel atas semua musuh mereka.
45 there hath not fallen a thing of all the good thing which Jehovah spake unto the house of Israel — the whole hath come.
TUHAN menepati setiap janji-Nya kepada umat Israel; tidak satu pun yang tidak ditepati-Nya.
