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].”
2 २ ते कनान देशातील शिलो येथे म्हणाले की, परमेश्वराने मोशेच्या द्वारे अशी आज्ञा दिली होती की “आम्हांला राहण्यासाठी नगरे आणि आमच्या पशूंसाठी त्यांची गायराने द्यावी.”
3 ३ यास्तव इस्राएल लोकांनी परमेश्वराच्या आज्ञेप्रमाणे आपल्या वतनांतून ही नगरे आणि त्यांची गायराने लेव्यांना दिली.
So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
