40. All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.
41. All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasture lands.
42. These cities each had its surrounding pasture lands; thus it was with all these cities.
43. So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and lived in it.
44. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord gave all their enemies into their hand.
45. Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.
