Joshua 21:20-45

20As for the other clans of the children of Kohath, the remaining Levites descended from the children of Kohath, the towns of their lot were from the tribe of Ephraim.

21So they gave them Shechem (the city of refuge for the manslayer) with its pastures in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer with its pastures,

22Kibzaim with its pastures and Beth-horon with its pastures—4 towns.

23From the tribe of Dan: Elteke with its pastures, Gibbethon with its pastures,

24Aijalon with its pastures and Gath-rimmon with its pastures—4 towns.

25From the half-tribe of Manasseh: Taanach with its pastures and Gath-rimmon with its pastures— 2 towns.

26All the towns of the clans of the rest of the children of Kohath were 10 with their pastures.

27Now to the children of Gershon of the clans of the Levites: from the half-tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan (the city of refuge for the manslayer) in Bashan with its pastures and Beeshterah with its pastures—2 towns.

28From the tribe of Issachar: Kishion with its pastures, Dobrath with its pastures,

29Jarmuth with its pastures and En-gannim with its pastures—4 towns.

30From the tribe of Asher: Mishal with its pastures, Abdon with its pastures,

31Helkath with its pastures, and Rehob with its pastures—4 towns.

32From the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh (the city of refuge for the manslayer) in Galilee with its pastures, Hammoth-dor with its pastures, Kartan with its pastures—3 towns.

33All the towns of the Gershonites according to their clans were 13 towns with their pastures.

34To the remaining Levites of the clans of the children of Merari, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun: Jokneam with its pastures, Kartah with its pastures,

35Dimnah with its pastures, and Nahalal with its pastures—4 towns.

36From the tribe of Reuben: Bezer with its pastures, Jahaz with its pastures,

37Kedemoth with its pastures and Mephaath with its pastures—4 cities.

38From the tribe of Gad: Ramoth (the city of refuge for the manslayer) in Gilead with its pastures, Mahanaim with its pastures,

39Heshbon with its pastures, and Jazer with its pastures—4 towns in all.

40All the towns that went by lot to the children of Merari (the remaining Levites) according to their clans, were 12 towns.

41The total of the towns of the Levites within the holdings of Bnei-Yisrael was 48 towns with their pastures.

42Each of these towns had its own pastures; so it was for all these towns.

43So Adonai gave to Israel the entire land that He had sworn to give to their fathers. They took possession and settled in it.

44Then Adonai gave them rest on all sides, just as He had sworn to their fathers. Not one man of all their enemies withstood them, for Adonai gave all their enemies into their hand.

45Not one good thing that Adonai had promised to the house of Israel failed. All came to pass.
