48 Ko te wahi tenei o te iwi o nga tama a Rana, o o ratou hapu, ko nga pa enei me nga kainga.
49 Na ka mutu ta ratou whakarite i te whenua hei kainga tupu, i tenei rohe, i tenei rohe; na ka hoatu e nga tama a Iharaira he wahi tupu mo Hohua tama a Nunu i roto i a ratou:
50 I hoatu e ratou ki a ia ta Ihowa i ki ai, te pa i tonoa e ia, ara a Timinata Heraha i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima: na ka hanga e ia te pa, a noho ana i reira.
51 Ko nga kainga enei i tuwhaina e Ereatara tohunga, e Hohua tama a Nunu, e nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, he mea rota i Hiro i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga. Heoi ka mutu ta ratou wehewehe i te whenua.
20 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ka mea,
2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Whakaritea e koutou etahi pa whakaora, ko aku i korero ai, na Mohi i whakapuaki ki a koutou:
3 Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i patu nei i tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, ehara i te mea ata whakaaro: a ka waiho hei whakaora mo koutou, kei mate i te kaitakitaki toto.
4 A ka rere ia ki tetahi o enei pa, ka tu i te kuwaha o te tomokanga o te pa, na ka korero i ana korero ki nga taringa o nga kaumatua o tena pa; a me tango atu ia e ratou ki roto ki te pa, ki roto ki a ratou, ka homai he wahi ki a ia, a ka noho ia ki a ratou.
5 A, ki te whaia atu ia e te kaitakitaki toto, kaua e tukua atu te tangata whakamate e ratou ki tona ringa; no te mea ehara i te mea ata whakaaro tana patunga i tona hoa, kihai ano ia i kino ki a ia i mua ake.
6 Engari me noho ia ki taua pa, kia tu ra ano ia ki mua i te whakaminenga whakawakia ai, a kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga o aua ra: ko reira hoki ai te tangata whakamate, haere ai ki tona pa, ki tona whare hoki, ki te pa i rere atu nei ia i reira
7 Na ka whakatapua e ratou ko Kerehe i Kariri, i te whenua pukepuke o Napatari, ko Hekeme i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ko Kiriata Arapa, ara ko Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura.
8 Na i tawahi o Horano, i te wahi e anga ana ki Heriko whaka te rawhiti ka whakaritea e ratou ko Petere i te koraha i te mania, no te iwi o Reupena, ko Ramoto i Kireara, no te iwi o Kara, ko Korana hoki i Pahana, no te iwi o Manahi.
9 Ko nga pa enei i whakaritea mo nga tama katoa a Iharaira, mo te manene hoki e noho ana i roto i a ratou, hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata katoa i whakamatea ai tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, kei mate i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, kia tu ra ano i mua i te whakaminenga.
21 Na ka whakatata mai nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti ki a Ereatara tohunga, ki a Hohua tama a Nunu, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira;
2 A ka korero ki a ratou i Hiro, i te whenua o Kanaana, ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa, na Mohi i whakapuaki, kia homai ki a matou etahi pa hei nohoanga, me nga wahi o waho ake mo a matou kararehe.
3 Katahi ka hoatu e nga tama a Iharaira i roto i o ratou wahi enei pa me nga wahi o waho ake ki nga Riwaiti, ko ta Ihowa hoki ia i ki ai.
4 Na ka puta ake te rota, ko to nga hapu o nga Kohati: a i riro i nga tama a Arona tohunga, i era o nga Riwaiti, tekau ma toru nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o te iwi o Hura, no roto i o te iwi o Himiona, no roto hoki i o te iwi o Peineamine.

9 A i hoatu e ratou i roto i o te iwi o nga tama a Hura, i o te iwi hoki o nga tama a Himiona, enei pa ka whakahuatia nei nga ingoa;
10 A i riro i nga tama a Arona, ara i nga hapu o nga Kohati, he tama nei ratou na Riwai: no ratou hoki te rota tuatahi.
11 I hoatu ano ki a ratou a Kiriata Arapa, ko taua Arapa nei te papa o Anaka, ara o Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura, me ona wahi o waho ake a tawhio noa.

This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans. 9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah,(M) because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.(N)

32 The sixth lot came out for Naphtali according to its clans:
33 Their boundary went from Heleph and the large tree in Zaanannim,(BE) passing Adami Nekeb and Jabneel(BF) to Lakkum and ending at the Jordan. 34 The boundary ran west through Aznoth Tabor and came out at Hukkok.(BG) It touched Zebulun(BH) on the south, Asher on the west and the Jordan[c] on the east. 35 The fortified towns were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath,(BI) Rakkath, Kinnereth,(BJ) 36 Adamah, Ramah,(BK) Hazor,(BL) 37 Kedesh,(BM) Edrei,(BN) En Hazor, 38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath(BO) and Beth Shemesh.(BP) There were nineteen towns and their villages.
39 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali, according to its clans.(BQ)
Allotment for Dan
40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan according to its clans. 41 The territory of their inheritance included:

47 (When the territory of the Danites was lost to them,(BZ) they went up and attacked Leshem(CA), took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named(CB) it Dan after their ancestor.)(CC)
48 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan,(CD) according to its clans.
Allotment for Joshua
49 When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, 50 as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for—Timnath Serah[d](CE) in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.
51 These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And so they finished dividing(CF) the land.(CG)
Cities of Refuge(CH)
20 Then the Lord said to Joshua: 2 “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, 3 so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally(CI) may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood.(CJ) 4 When they flee to one of these cities, they are to stand in the entrance of the city gate(CK) and state their case before the elders(CL) of that city. Then the elders are to admit the fugitive into their city and provide a place to live among them. 5 If the avenger of blood comes in pursuit, the elders must not surrender the fugitive, because the fugitive killed their neighbor unintentionally and without malice aforethought. 6 They are to stay in that city until they have stood trial before the assembly(CM) and until the death of the high priest who is serving at that time. Then they may go back to their own home in the town from which they fled.”
7 So they set apart Kedesh(CN) in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem(CO) in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba(CP) (that is, Hebron(CQ)) in the hill country of Judah.(CR) 8 East of the Jordan (on the other side from Jericho) they designated Bezer(CS) in the wilderness on the plateau in the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead(CT) in the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan(CU) in the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Any of the Israelites or any foreigner residing among them who killed someone accidentally(CV) could flee to these designated cities and not be killed by the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.(CW)
Towns for the Levites(CX)
21 Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israel(CY) 2 at Shiloh(CZ) in Canaan and said to them, “The Lord commanded through Moses that you give us towns(DA) to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.”(DB) 3 So, as the Lord had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 The first lot came out for the Kohathites,(DC) according to their clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.(DD) 5 The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and half of Manasseh.(DE)
6 The descendants of Gershon(DF) were allotted thirteen towns from the clans of the tribes of Issachar,(DG) Asher,(DH) Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7 The descendants of Merari,(DI) according to their clans, received twelve(DJ) towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.(DK)
8 So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name 10 (these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):
11 They gave them Kiriath Arba(DL) (that is, Hebron(DM)), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.) 12 But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.(DN)
13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (a city of refuge(DO) for one accused of murder), Libnah,(DP) 14 Jattir,(DQ) Eshtemoa,(DR) 15 Holon,(DS) Debir,(DT) 16 Ain,(DU) Juttah(DV) and Beth Shemesh,(DW) together with their pasturelands—nine towns from these two tribes.
17 And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon,(DX) Geba,(DY) 18 Anathoth(DZ) and Almon, together with their pasturelands—four towns.
19 The total number of towns(EA) for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.(EB)
20 The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:
21 In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem(EC) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer,(ED) 22 Kibzaim and Beth Horon,(EE) together with their pasturelands—four towns.(EF)
23 Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,(EG) 24 Aijalon(EH) and Gath Rimmon,(EI) together with their pasturelands—four towns.
25 From half the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach(EJ) and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands—two towns.
26 All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.(EK)
27 The Levite clans of the Gershonites were given:
from the half-tribe of Manasseh,
