20And the familiesH4940 of the children of KohathH6955, the LevitesH3881, even the rest of the children of KohathH6955, they had the citiesH5892 of their lotH1486 out of the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669. 21And they gaveH5414 them ShechemH7927 with its suburbs in the hill-country of EphraimH669, the cityH5892 of refugeH4733 for the manslayer, and GezerH1507 with its suburbs, 22and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth-horonH1032 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 23And out of the tribeH4294 of DanH1835, Elteke with its suburbs, GibbethonH1405 with its suburbs, 24AijalonH357 with its suburbs, Gath-rimmonH1667 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 25And out of the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, TaanachH8590 with its suburbs, and Gath-rimmonH1667 with its suburbs; twoH8147 citiesH5892. 26All the citiesH5892 of the familiesH4940 of the rest of the children of KohathH6955 were tenH6235 with their suburbs.

27And unto the children of GershonH1648, of the familiesH4940 of the LevitesH3881, out of the half-tribe of ManassehH4519 they gave GolanH1474 in BashanH1316 with its suburbs, the cityH5892 of refugeH4733 for the manslayer, and Be-eshterah with its suburbs; twoH8147 citiesH5892. 28And out of the tribeH4294 of IssacharH3485, KishionH7191 with its suburbs, DaberathH1705 with its suburbs, 29JarmuthH3412 with its suburbs, En-gannimH5873 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 30And out of the tribeH4294 of AsherH836, MishalH4861 with its suburbs, AbdonH5658 with its suburbs, 31HelkathH2520 with its suburbs, and RehobH7340 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 32And out of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, KedeshH6943 in GalileeH1551 with its suburbs, the cityH5892 of refugeH4733 for the manslayer, and Hammoth-dor with its suburbs, and Kartan with its suburbs; threeH7969 citiesH5892. 33All the citiesH5892 of the Gershonites according to their familiesH4940 were thirteen citiesH5892 with their suburbs.

34And unto the familiesH4940 of the children of MerariH4847, the rest of the LevitesH3881, out of the tribeH4294 of ZebulunH2074, JokneamH3362 with its suburbs, and KartahH7177 with its suburbs, 35Dimnah with its suburbs, NahalalH5096 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 36And out of the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, BezerH1221 with its suburbs, and JahazH3096 with its suburbs, 37KedemothH6932 with its suburbs, and MephaathH4158 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892. 38And out of the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, Ramoth in GileadH1568 with its suburbs, the cityH5892 of refugeH4733 for the manslayer, and MahanaimH4266 with its suburbs, 39HeshbonH2809 with its suburbs, JazerH3270 with its suburbs; fourH702 citiesH5892 in all. 40All these wereH1961 the citiesH5892 of the children of MerariH4847 according to their familiesH4940, even the rest of the familiesH4940 of the LevitesH3881; and their lotH1486 wasH1961 twelve citiesH5892.

43So Jehovah gaveH5414 unto IsraelH3478 all the landH776 which he sware to giveH5414 unto their fathersH1; and they possessedH3423 it, and dweltH3427 therein. 44And Jehovah gaveH5414 them restH5117 roundH5439 about, according to all that he sware unto their fathersH1: and there stoodH5975 not a manH376 of all their enemiesH341 before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemiesH341 into their handH3027. 45There failed not aught of any goodH2896 thingH1697 which Jehovah had spokenH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; all cameH935 to pass.
