As cidades dos levitas(A)
21 1-2 Os chefes das famílias dos levitas foram até a cidade de Siló, na terra de Canaã. Ali falaram com o sacerdote Eleazar, com Josué, filho de Num, e com os chefes das famílias de todas as tribos de Israel. Eles disseram:
— O Senhor Deus ordenou, por meio de Moisés, que nos dessem cidades para morar e também pastos ao redor delas para o nosso gado.
3 E os israelitas, obedecendo à ordem de Deus, o Senhor, deram das suas terras cidades e pastos para os levitas.
4 As famílias dos coatitas foram as primeiras a receber cidades. Os levitas que eram descendentes do sacerdote Arão receberam treze cidades das tribos de Judá, Simeão e Benjamim. 5 Os outros coatitas receberam dez cidades das famílias das tribos de Efraim e de Dã e da metade oeste da tribo de Manassés.
6 Os gersonitas receberam treze cidades das famílias das tribos de Issacar, Aser, Naftali e da metade da tribo de Manassés que estava em Basã, a leste do Jordão.
7 As famílias dos meraritas receberam doze cidades das tribos de Rúben, Gade e Zebulom.
8 O povo de Israel, por meio de sorteio, separou para os levitas essas cidades e os pastos ao redor delas, como o Senhor havia ordenado por meio de Moisés.
9 São citadas a seguir as cidades das tribos de Judá e de Simeão que foram dadas 10 aos descendentes de Arão que eram do grupo de famílias de Coate, filho de Levi. As terras dos coatitas foram as primeiras a serem sorteadas. 11 Deram a essas famílias a cidade de Quiriate-Arba (Arba foi o pai de Anaque), que é Hebrom, na região montanhosa de Judá, e os pastos ao seu redor. 12 Mas os campos em volta da cidade e os seus povoados tinham sido dados a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, como sua propriedade.
13 Aos descendentes de Arão deram Hebrom com os seus pastos. Esta era uma das cidades para os fugitivos que tivessem matado alguém. Deram também as cidades de Libna, 14 Jatir, Estemoa, 15 Holom, Debir, 16 Aim, Jutá e Bete-Semes, com os seus pastos. Ao todo nove cidades das tribos de Judá e de Simeão. 17 Da tribo de Benjamim deram quatro cidades: Gibeão, Geba, 18 Anatote e Almom. 19 Ao todo foram dadas treze cidades com os seus pastos aos sacerdotes, que eram descendentes de Arão.
20 Para as outras famílias coatitas, que eram levitas, eles deram algumas cidades da tribo de Efraim. 21 Essas famílias receberam Siquém e os seus pastos na região montanhosa de Efraim. Siquém era uma das cidades para os fugitivos que tivessem matado alguém. Os coatitas receberam também Gezer, 22 Quibzaim e Bete-Horom, com os seus pastos. Ao todo quatro cidades. 23 Da tribo de Dã eles receberam quatro cidades: Elteque, Gibetom, 24 Aijalom e Gate-Rimom, com os seus pastos. 25 Da metade oeste da tribo de Manassés eles receberam duas cidades: Taanaque e Gate-Rimom, com os seus pastos. 26 Essas famílias coatitas receberam ao todo dez cidades com os seus pastos.
27 Os gersonitas, que eram outra família de levitas, receberam da metade leste da tribo de Manassés a cidade de Golã, em Basã, com os seus pastos. Esta era uma das cidades para os fugitivos que tivessem matado alguém. Os gersonitas receberam também a cidade de Beesterá com os seus pastos. 28 Da tribo de Issacar eles receberam quatro cidades: Quisião, Daberate, 29 Jarmute e En-Ganim, com os seus pastos. 30 Da tribo de Aser eles receberam quatro cidades: Misal, Abdom, 31 Helcate e Reobe, com os seus pastos. 32 Da tribo de Naftali receberam a cidade de Quedes, na Galileia, com os seus pastos. Quedes era uma cidade para os fugitivos que tivessem matado alguém. Os gersonitas receberam também Hamote-Dor e Cartã, com os seus pastos. Ao todo três cidades. 33 As várias famílias dos gersonitas receberam ao todo treze cidades com os seus pastos.
34 Os outros levitas, isto é, as famílias meraritas, receberam da tribo de Zebulom quatro cidades: Jocneão, Cartá, 35 Dimna e Naalal, com os seus pastos. 36 Da tribo de Rúben eles receberam quatro cidades: Bezer, Jasa, 37 Quedemote e Mefaate, com os seus pastos. 38 Da tribo de Gade eles receberam Ramote, em Gileade, com os seus pastos. Ramote era uma das cidades para os fugitivos que tivessem matado alguém. Os meraritas receberam também Maanaim, 39 Hesbom e Jazer, com os seus pastos. Ao todo quatro cidades. 40 Esses levitas, isto é, as várias famílias meraritas, receberam doze cidades ao todo.
41 Das terras dos israelitas foram dadas aos levitas, ao todo, quarenta e oito cidades com os seus pastos. 42 Cada uma dessas cidades tinha pastos ao seu redor.
O povo de Israel toma posse da terra
43 Assim o Senhor Deus deu aos israelitas toda a terra que havia prometido aos seus antepassados. E, quando tomaram posse da terra, eles passaram a morar nela. 44 O Senhor lhes deu paz com os povos vizinhos, conforme havia prometido aos seus antepassados. Nenhum dos inimigos conseguiu resistir, pois o Senhor deu ao povo de Israel a vitória sobre eles. 45 O Senhor cumpriu todas as boas promessas que havia feito ao povo de Israel.
Joshua 21
King James Version
21 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
2 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the 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, thirteen cities.
5 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
6 And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
7 The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name.
10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.
23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,
24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.
28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,
29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.
30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,
31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.
36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,
37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,
39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Joshua 21
English Standard Version
Cities and Pasturelands Allotted to Levi
21 Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came (A)to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. 2 And they said to them (B)at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, (C)“The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock.” 3 So by command of the Lord the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasturelands out of their inheritance.
4 The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest (D)received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities.
5 And the rest of the Kohathites received by lot (E)from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
6 The (F)Gershonites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
7 The (G)Merarites according to their clans received from the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
8 These cities and their pasturelands the people of Israel (H)gave by lot to the Levites, (I)as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
9 Out of the tribe of the people of Judah and the tribe of the people of Simeon they gave the following cities mentioned by name, 10 which went to (J)the descendants of Aaron, one of the clans of the Kohathites who belonged to the people of Levi; since the lot fell to them first. 11 (K)They gave them (L)Kiriath-arba (Arba being the father of Anak), that is Hebron, (M)in the hill country of Judah, along with the pasturelands around it. 12 But the fields of the city and its villages had been given to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13 And to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, (N)the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasturelands, (O)Libnah with its pasturelands, 14 Jattir with its pasturelands, Eshtemoa with its pasturelands, 15 Holon with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands, 16 Ain with its pasturelands, Juttah with its pasturelands, Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands—nine cities out of these two tribes; 17 then out of the tribe of Benjamin, (P)Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands, 18 Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its pasturelands—four cities. 19 The cities of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, were in all thirteen cities with their pasturelands.
20 (Q)As to the rest of the Kohathites belonging to the Kohathite clans of the Levites, the cities allotted to them were out of the tribe of Ephraim. 21 To them were given Shechem, (R)the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer with its pasturelands, 22 Kibzaim with its pasturelands, Beth-horon with its pasturelands—four cities; 23 and out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasturelands, Gibbethon with its pasturelands, 24 Aijalon with its pasturelands, Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands—four cities; 25 and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its pasturelands, and Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands—two cities. 26 The cities of the clans of the rest of the Kohathites were ten in all with their pasturelands.
27 (S)And to the Gershonites, one of the clans of the Levites, were given out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its pasturelands, (T)the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Beeshterah with its pasturelands—two cities; 28 and out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its pasturelands, Daberath with its pasturelands, 29 Jarmuth with its pasturelands, En-gannim with its pasturelands—four cities; 30 and out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its pasturelands, Abdon with its pasturelands, 31 Helkath with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands—four cities; 32 and out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its pasturelands, (U)the city of refuge for the manslayer, Hammoth-dor with its pasturelands, and Kartan with its pasturelands—three cities. 33 The cities of the several clans of the Gershonites were in all thirteen cities with their pasturelands.
34 (V)And to the rest of the Levites, the Merarite clans, were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasturelands, Kartah with its pasturelands, 35 Dimnah with its pasturelands, Nahalal with its pasturelands—four cities; 36 and out of the tribe of Reuben, (W)Bezer with its pasturelands, Jahaz with its pasturelands, 37 Kedemoth with its pasturelands, and Mephaath with its pasturelands—four cities; 38 and out of the tribe of Gad, (X)Ramoth in Gilead with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, (Y)Mahanaim with its pasturelands, 39 (Z)Heshbon with its pasturelands, Jazer with its pasturelands—four cities in all. 40 As for the cities of the several Merarite clans, that is, the remainder of the clans of the Levites, those allotted to them were in all twelve cities.
41 (AA)The cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the people of Israel were in all forty-eight cities with their pasturelands. 42 These cities each had its pasturelands around it. So it was with all these cities.
43 (AB)Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. 44 (AC)And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. (AD)Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for (AE)the Lord had given all their enemies into their hands. 45 (AF)Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.
