1.那時，利未人的眾族長來到祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞，並以色列各支派的族長面前，
Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israel
2.在迦南地的示羅對他們說：「從前耶和華藉著摩西吩咐給我們城邑居住，並城邑的郊野可以牧養我們的牲畜。」
at Shiloh in Canaan and said to them, 「The LORD commanded through Moses that you give us towns to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.」
3.於是以色列人照耶和華所吩咐的，從自己的地業中，將以下所記的城邑和城邑的郊野給了利未人。
So, as the LORD had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
