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 Wayna kula hadleen, iyagoo jooga Shiiloh oo ku taal dalkii reer Kancaan, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbigu wuxuu noogu amray Muuse in nala siiyo magaalooyin aan degno iyo agagaarkoodii ay xoolahayagu daaqaan.
3 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay dhaxalkoodii reer Laawi ka siiyeen magaalooyinkaas iyo agagaarkooda sidii amarka Rabbigu ahaa.
