40. So all the cities allotted to the Merarite families, that is, the remainder of the Levite families, were twelve cities.
41. The cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the Israelites were forty-eight cities in all, with their pasturelands (suburbs).
42. These cities all had their pasturelands (suburbs) around them.
43. And the Lord gave to Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
44. The Lord gave them rest round about, just as He had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies withstood them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
45. There failed no part of any good thing which the Lord had promised to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
