⁴¹ The Levites received 48 towns in the land of the Israelite people. ⁴² Each of these towns had its own fields round it, for animals to eat the grass.

⁴³ That is how the Lord gave the land to all the Israelite people. He had promised their ancestors that he would give the land to them. They took it from the people who had lived there, and then they lived there themselves.
