41. A total of forty-eight towns with their pastures in the land of Israel were given to the Levites.
42. Each town had pastures around it.

44. The Lord gave them peace on all sides, as he had promised their ancestors. None of their enemies defeated them; the Lord handed all their enemies over to them.
45. He kept every promise he had made to the Israelites; each one came true.
