1. The heads of the levitical families approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua, Nun’s son, and the heads of the families of the Israelite tribes.
2. They spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan: "The Lord gave a command through Moses to give us cities to live in and their pasturelands for our cattle."
3. So the Israelites gave the Levites the following cities and their pasturelands out of their own legacy. This was in agreement with the Lord’s command.
