40. All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites. Their lot was twelve cities.
41. All the cities of the Levites among the possessions of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs.
42. Each of these cities included their suburbs around them. It was this way with all these cities.
43. So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.
44. Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45. Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
