Jozuego 21
1 Wtedy naczelnicy wśród ojców Lewitów przyszli do kapłana Eleazara, do Jozuego, syna Nuna, i do naczelników wśród ojców pokoleń synów Izraela.
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 I powiedzieli do nich w Szilo, w ziemi Kanaan: PAN rozkazał przez Mojżesza, abyście nam dali miasta do mieszkania wraz z ich pastwiskami dla naszego bydła.
3 Synowie Izraela dali więc Lewitom ze swego dziedzictwa zgodnie ze słowem PANA te miasta oraz ich pastwiska.
So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
4 Padł los dla rodzin Kehatytów: synowie kapłana Aarona spośród Lewitów otrzymali losem trzynaście miast od pokolenia Judy, od pokolenia Symeona i od pokolenia Beniamina.
[First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
5 A pozostali synowie Kehata [otrzymali] losem dziesięć miast od rodzin pokolenia Efraima, od pokolenia Dana i od połowy pokolenia Manassesa.
To the other members of the Kohath clan they allotted ten cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh [that lives on the west side of the Jordan River].
6 A synowie Gerszona [otrzymali] losem trzynaście miast od rodzin pokolenia Issachara, od pokolenia Aszera, od pokolenia Neftalego i od połowy pokolenia Manassesa w Baszanie.
