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 ଆଉ ସେମାନେ କିଣାନ ଦେଶସ୍ଥ ଶୀଲୋ ନିକଟରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ବସତି-ନଗର ଓ ପଶୁଗଣ ନିମନ୍ତେ ତହିଁର ତଳିଭୂମି ଦେବା ପାଇଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଇଥିଲେ।”
