Modern English Version

Cities for the Levites^(A)

21 The family leaders of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes. ² At Shiloh in the land of Canaan they said to them, “Through Moses the Lord commanded that we be given cities in which to live and grazing lands for our livestock.” ³ So according to the word of the Lord, out of their inheritance the children of Israel gave the Levites these cities and their grazing lands.
