Cities Allotted to the Levites

21 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites came to Elea′zar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel; ² and they said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasture lands for our cattle.” ³ So by command of the Lord the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasture lands out of their inheritance.
