21 3 The cities given to the Levites, 41 in number eight and forty. 44 The Lord according to his promise gave the children of Israel rest.
1 Then came the [a]principal fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the Priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,
2 And spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, (A)The Lord commanded [b]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.
