Joshua 21:36-44 Common English Bible (CEB)

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

37. Kedemoth and its pastures, and Mephaath and its pastures; in total: four cities.

38. From the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead, the refuge city for a killer, and its pastures; Mahanaim and its pastures;

39. Heshbon and its pastures; Jazer and its pastures; in total: four cities.

40. As for the cities of the descendants of Merari for their clans, the remaining clans of the Levites, their total allotment was twelve cities.

41. This is the total of all the cities of the Levites within the property of the Israelites: forty-eight cities with their pastures.

42. Each of these cities had its pastures around it. This was the case for all these cities.

43. The Lord gave to Israel all the land he had pledged to give to their ancestors. They took it over and settled there.

44. The Lord gave them rest from surrounding danger, exactly as he had pledged to their ancestors. Not one of all their enemies held out against them. The Lord gave all their enemies into their power.
