1Начальники поколений левитских пришли к Елеазару священнику и к Иисусу, сыну Навину, и к начальникам поколений сынов Израилевых,2и говорили им в Силоме, в земле Ханаанской, и сказали: Господь повелел чрез Моисея дать нам города для жительства и предместья их для скота нашего.3И дали сыны Израилевы левитам из уделов своих, по повелению Господню, сии города с предместьями их.4Вышел жребий племенам Каафовым; и досталось по жребию сынам Аарона священника, левитам, от колена Иудина, и от колена Симеонова, и от колена Вениаминова, тринадцать городов;5а прочим сынам Каафа от племен колен Ефремова, и от колена Данова, и от половины колена Манассиина, по жребию, [досталось] десять городов;6сынам Гирсоновым – от племен колена Иссахарова, и от колена Асирова, и от колена Неффалимова, и от половины колена Манассиина в Васане, по жребию, [досталось] тринадцать городов;7сынам Мерариным, по их племенам, от колена Рувимова, от колена Гадова и от колена Завулонова – двенадцать городов.8И отдали сыны Израилевы левитам сии города с предместьями их, как повелел Господь чрез Моисея, по жребию.9От колена сынов Иудиных, и от колена сынов Симеоновых, дали города, которые [здесь] названы по имени:10сынам Аарона, из племен Каафовых, из сынов Левия, так как жребий их был первый,11дали Кириаф–Арбы, отца Енакова, иначе Хеврон, на горе Иудиной, и предместья его вокруг его;12а поле сего города и села его отдали в собственность Халеву, сыну Иефонниину.13Итак сынам Аарона священника дали город убежища для убийцы – Хеврон и предместья его, Ливну и предместья ее,14Иаттир и предместья его, Ештемо и предместья его,15Холон и предместья его, Давир и предместья его,16Аин и предместья его, Ютту и предместья ее, Беф–Шемеш и предместья его: девять городов от двух колен сих;17а от колена Вениаминова: Гаваон и предместья его, Геву и предместья ее,18Анафоф и предместья его, Алмон и предместья его: четыре города.19Всех городов сынам Аароновым, священникам, [досталось] тринадцать городов с предместьями их.20И племенам сынов Каафовых, левитов, прочим из сынов Каафовых, по жребию их, достались города от колена Ефремова;21дали им город убежища для убийцы – Сихем и предместья его, на горе Ефремовой, Гезер и предместья его,22Кивцаим и предместья его, Беф–Орон и предместья его: четыре города;23от колена Данова: Елфеке и предместья его, Гиввефон и предместья его,24Аиалон и предместья его, Гаф–Риммон и предместья его: четыре города;25от половины колена Манассиина: Фаанах и предместья его, Гаф–Риммон и предместья его: два города.26Всех городов с предместьями их прочим племенам сынов Каафовых [досталось] десять.27А сынам Гирсоновым, из племен левитских [дали]: от половины колена Манассиина город убежища для убийцы – Голан в Васане и предместья его, и Беештеру и предместья ее: два города;28от колена Иссахарова: Кишион и предместья его, Давраф и предместья его,29Иармуф и предместья его, Ен–Ганним и предместья его: четыре города;30от колена Асирова: Мишал и предместья его, Авдон и предместья его,31Хелкаф и предместья его, Рехов и предместья его: четыре города;32от колена Неффалимова город убежища для убийцы – Кедес в Галилее и предместья его, Хамоф–Дор и предместья его, Карфан и предместья его: три города.33Всех городов сынам Гирсоновым, по племенам их, [досталось] тринадцать городов с предместьями их.34Племенам сынов Мерариных, остальным левитам, [дали]: от колена Завулонова Иокнеам и предместья его, Карфу и предместья ее,35Димну и предместья ее, Нагалал и предместья его: четыре города;36от колена Рувимова Бецер и предместья его, Иааца и предместья ее,37Кедемоф и предместья его, Мефааф и предместья его: четыре города;38от колена Гадова: города убежища для убийцы – Рамоф в Галааде и предместья его, Маханаим и предместья его,39Есевон и предместья его, Иазер и предместья его: всех городов четыре.40Всех городов сынам Мерариным по племенам их, остальным племенам левитским, по жребию досталось двенадцать городов.41Всех городов левитских среди владения сынов Израилевых [было] сорок восемь городов с предместьями их.42При городах сих были при каждом городе предместья вокруг него: так было при всех городах сих.43Таким образом отдал Господь Израилю всю землю, которую дать клялся отцам их, и они получили ее в наследие и поселились на ней.44И дал им Господь покой со всех сторон, как клялся отцам их, и никто из всех врагов их не устоял против них; всех врагов их предал Господь в руки их.45Не осталось неисполнившимся ни одно слово из всех добрых слов, которые Господь говорил дому Израилеву; все сбылось.
1The leaders of the Levite family groups approached Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun. They also approached the leaders of the family groups of Israel’s other tribes.2They went to all of them at Shiloh in Canaan. They said to them, ‘Give us towns to live in. Also give us grasslands for our livestock. That’s what the LORD commanded through Moses.’3So the Israelites gave the Levites towns and grasslands out of their own shares of land. They did what the LORD had commanded. Here are the towns the Levites were given.4The first lot drawn out was for the people of Kohath, according to their family groups. Some of the Levites came from the family line of Aaron the priest. They were given 13 towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.5The rest of Kohath’s family groups were given ten towns. Those towns were from the family groups of the tribes of Ephraim and Dan and half of the tribe of Manasseh.6The family groups of Gershon were given 13 towns. Those towns were from the family groups of the tribes of Issachar, Asher and Naphtali and half of the tribe of Manasseh. That part of Manasseh was in the land of Bashan.7The family groups of Merari received 12 towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun. Each family group received its share.8So the Israelites gave those towns and their grasslands to the Levites. They did what the LORD had commanded through Moses.9Some towns were given from the territories of the tribes of Judah and Simeon.10The Israelites gave them to the members of the family line of Aaron. The towns were given to the family groups of Kohath. They were Levites. The first lot drawn out was for them. Here are the towns the family groups of Kohath were given.11The Israelites gave them Kiriath Arba and the grasslands around it. Kiriath Arba is also called Hebron. It’s in the hill country of Judah. Anak came from the family line of Arba.12But Israel had already given away the fields and villages around the city. They had given them to Caleb as his share. Caleb was the son of Jephunneh.13So they gave Hebron to the members of the family line of Aaron the priest. Hebron was a city where anyone charged with murder could go for safety. They also gave them Libnah,14Jattir, Eshtemoa,15Holon, Debir,16Ain, Juttah and Beth Shemesh. They gave those towns and their grasslands to the family groups of Kohath. The total number of towns from the tribes of Judah and Simeon came to nine.17The Israelites gave some towns from the tribe of Benjamin to the family groups of Kohath. The towns were Gibeon, Geba,18Anathoth and Almon. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.19So the total number of towns and their grasslands given to the priests in Aaron’s family line came to 13.20There were other family groups of Kohath among the Levites. They were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim. Here are the towns those other family groups of Kohath were given.21In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem. It was a city where anyone charged with murder could go for safety. They were also given Gezer,22Kibzaim and Beth Horon. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.23From the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,24Aijalon and Gath Rimmon. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.25From half of the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach and Gath Rimmon. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to two.26So all these ten towns and their grasslands were given to the other family groups of Kohath.27Here are the towns given to the family groups of Gershon among the Levites. From half of the tribe of Manasseh they received Golan in the land of Bashan. Golan was a city where anyone charged with murder could go for safety. They also received Be Eshterah. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to two.28From the tribe of Issachar they received Kishion, Daberath,29Jarmuth and En Gannim. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.30From the tribe of Asher they received Mishal, Abdon,31Helkath and Rehob. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.32From the tribe of Naphtali they received Kedesh in Galilee. Kedesh was a city where anyone charged with murder could go for safety. They also received Hammoth Dor and Kartan. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to three.33So the total number of towns and their grasslands given to the family groups of Gershon came to 13.34The rest of the Levites were from the family groups of Merari. Here are the towns they were given. From the tribe of Zebulun they received Jokneam, Kartah,35Dimnah and Nahalal. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.36From the tribe of Reuben they received Bezer, Jahaz,37Kedemoth and Mephaath. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.38From the tribe of Gad they received Ramoth in Gilead. Ramoth was a city where anyone charged with murder could go for safety. They also received Mahanaim,39Heshbon and Jazer. The total number of these towns and their grasslands came to four.40So the total number of towns given to the family groups of Merari came to 12. That concludes the list of towns the rest of the Levites received.41The total number of Levite towns and their grasslands in the territory given to Israel came to 48.42Each of those towns had grasslands around it. That was true of all of them.43So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And Israel took it over. Then they made their homes there.44The LORD gave them peace and rest on every side. He had promised their people of long ago that he would do that. Not one of Israel’s enemies was able to fight against them and win. The LORD handed all their enemies over to them.45The LORD kept all the good promises he had made to the Israelites. Every one of them came true.
