Joshua 21:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, (A)The Lord commanded [a]by the hand of Moses, to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
3 So the children of Israel gave unto the Levites, out of their inheritance at the commandment of the Lord these cities with their suburbs.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the [b]Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the Priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot, out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin [c]thirteen cities.
