34. And to the families of the Merarites, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun were given Jokneam, Kartah,
35. Dimnah, and Nahalal; four cities, each with its pasturelands (suburbs).
36. And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer, Jahaz,
37. Kedemoth, and Mephaath; four cities, each with its pasturelands (suburbs).
38. And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead, as the city of refuge for the slayer, and Mahanaim,
39. Heshbon, and Jazer; four cities in all, each with its pasturelands (suburbs).
40. So all the cities allotted to the Merarite families, that is, the remainder of the Levite families, were twelve cities.
41. The cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the Israelites were forty-eight cities in all, with their pasturelands (suburbs).
42. These cities all had their pasturelands (suburbs) around them.
43. And the Lord gave to Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
44. The Lord gave them rest round about, just as He had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies withstood them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
