Then the tribal leaders of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families of their ancestors within the people of Israel.

2 Ní Ṣilo, ní Kenaani, wọn sọ fún wọn pé, “Olúwa pàṣẹ nípasẹ̀ Mose pé kí wọn fún wa ní ìlú láti máa gbé àti ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù fún ẹran ọ̀sìn wa.”

They said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to live in, with the pasturelands for our livestock.”

3 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní àwọn ìlú wọ̀nyí, àti ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù lára ilẹ̀ ìní tiwọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.

So by the command of Yahweh, the people of Israel gave out of their inheritance the following cities, including their pasturelands, to the Levites.

The casting of lots for the clans of the Kohathites gave this result: The priests—the descendants of Aaron who were from the Levites—received thirteen cities given from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.
