and spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan: “Yahweh commanded through Moses that we be given towns to live in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock.”
In context
1The heads of the Levite families came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral tribes of Israel, 2and spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan: “Yahweh commanded through Moses that we be given towns to live in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock.” 3So, as Yahweh had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, out of their own inheritance. 4The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. The descendants of Aaron the priest, who were Levites, received thirteen towns by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
