레위인들의 성

21 그때 레위 지파의 지도자들이 가나안 땅의 실로에 있는 제사장 엘르아

살과 눈의 아들 여호수아와 이스라엘 지파의 지도자들에게 와서 말하였다. “여호와께서는 모세를 통하여 우리가 살 성과 우리 가축을 먹일 목초지를 우리에게 주라고 명령하셨습니다.”

그래서 여호와의 명령에 따라 이스라엘 백성은 자기들의 땅 중에서 일부 성과 목초지를 레위 사람에게 주었다.

먼저 고핫 자손을 위해 제비를 뽑았는데 이들 중 제사장 아론의 자손들은 유다 지파와 시므온 지파와 베냐민 지파의 땅 중에서 13개의 성을 얻었다.

그리고 고핫의 나머지 자손들은 에브라임 지파와 단 지파와 므낫세 서쪽 반 지파의 땅 중에서 10개의 성을 얻었다.

또 게르손 자손들은 잇사갈 지파와 아셀 지파와 납달리 지파와 바산에 있는 므낫세 반 지파의 땅 중에서 13개의 성을 얻었고,

므라리 자손들은 르우벤 지파와 갓 지파와 스불론 지파의 땅 중에서 12개의 성을 얻었다.

이와 같이 이스라엘 백성은 목초지가 딸린 이 성들을 여호와께서 모세에게 명령하신 대로 제비를 뽑아 레위 사람에게 나누어 주었다.

아론의 자손들이 유다 지파와 시므온 지파의 땅 중에서 얻은 성은 아래와 같다:

10 레위 지파 가운데서 고핫 자손의 제비가 먼저 뽑혔으므로 이들 아론의 자손들이 제일 먼저 성을 얻었다.

11 이스라엘 백성은 그들에게 아낙의 조상 아르바의 이름을 딴 기럇 – 아르바성과 그 주변 목초지를 주었는데 현재 이 성은 헤브론이라고 불려지며 유다 산간 지대에 위치해 있다.

12 그러나 그 성 주변의 밭과 부락들은 여분네의 아들 갈렙이 계속 소유하도록 하였다.

13 그래서 아론의 자손들이 얻은 것은 도피성 중의 하나인 헤브론을 포함하여 립나,

14 얏딜, 에스드모아,

15 홀론, 드빌,

16 아인, 윳다, 벧 – 세메스, 그리고 여기에 딸린 목초지였다. 이상의 9개 성은 아론의 자손이 유다 지파와 시므온 지파에게서 얻은 것이다.

17 그리고 그들은 베냐민 지파의 땅 중에서도 4개의 성을 얻었다. 그것은 기브온, 게바,

18 아나돗, 알몬, 그리고 여기에 딸린 목초지였다.

19 이상 13개의 성과 그 주변 목초지는 제사장 아론의 자손들에게 준 것이다.

20 [a]아론의 자손을 제외한 고핫의 나머지 자손들은 두 지파 반에게서 성을 얻었다. 그들이 에브라임 지파에게서 얻은 것은

21 도피성 중의 하나인 에브라임 산간 지대의 세겜과 그리고 게셀과

22 깁사임과 벧 – 호론과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 4개의 성이었다.

23 또 그들이 단 지파에게서 얻은 것은 엘드게와 깁브돈과

24 아얄론과 가드 – 림몬과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 4개의 성이었다.

25 그리고 므낫세 서쪽 반 지파에게서 얻은 것은 다아낙과 가드 – 림몬과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 2개의 성이었다.

26 이상 10개의 성과 그 주변 목초지는 고핫의 나머지 자손들이 얻은 것이다.

27 레위 지파의 다른 집안인 게르손 자손은 [b]세 지파 반에게서 성을 얻었다. 그들이 므낫세 동쪽 반 지파에게서 얻은 것은 도피성 중의 하나인 바산의 골란과 브 – 에스드라와 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 2개의 성이며,

28 잇사갈 지파에게서 얻은 것은 기시온과 다브랏과

32 납달리 지파에게서 얻은 것은 도피성 중의 하나인 갈릴리의 게데스와 함못 – 돌과 가르단과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 3개의 성이었다.

33 이상 13개의 성과 그 주변 목초지는 게르손 자손이 얻은 것이다.

34 레위 지파의 나머지 집안인 므라리 자손은 [c]세 지파에게서 성을 얻었다. 그들이 스불론 지파에게서 얻은 것은 욕느암과 가르다와

35 딤나와 나할랄과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 4개의 성이며

36 르우벤 지파에게서 얻은 것은 베셀과 야하스와

37 그데못과 므바앗과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 4개의 성이었다.

38 그리고 그들이 갓 지파에게서 얻은 것은 도피성 중의 하나인 길르앗의 라못과 마하나임과

39 헤스본과 야셀과 여기에 딸린 목초지로 모두 4개의 성이었다.

40 이상 12개의 성과 그 주변 목초지는 레위 지파의 므라리 자손이 얻은 것이다.

41 이스라엘 백성의 각 지파가 소유한 땅 중에서 레위 지파가 얻은 것은 모두 48개의 성과 목초지인데

42 모든 성의 주변에 이와 같은 목초지가 딸려 있었다.

43 이와 같이 여호와께서 이스라엘 조상들에게 주겠다고 약속한 땅을 하나도 남김없이 모두 이스라엘 백성에게 주셨으므로 그들이 그 땅을 점령하고 거기에 정착하였다.

44 그래서 여호와께서는 그들의 조상들에게 약속한 대로 그들의 온 땅에서 평안을 누리게 하셨다. 여호와께서 그들의 모든 원수들을 그들의 손에 넘겨 주셨으므로 그들을 당해 낼 대적이 하나도 없었다.

45 이렇게 해서 이스라엘 백성에게 약속한 여호와의 모든 선한 일이 그대로 이루어졌다.

Towns for the Levites(A)

21 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(B) at Shiloh(C) in Canaan and said to them, “The Lord commanded through Moses that you give us towns(D) to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.”(E) So, as the Lord had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:

The first lot came out for the Kohathites,(F) according to their clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.(G) The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and half of Manasseh.(H)

The descendants of Gershon(I) were allotted thirteen towns from the clans of the tribes of Issachar,(J) Asher,(K) Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

The descendants of Merari,(L) according to their clans, received twelve(M) towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.(N)

So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name 10 (these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):

11 They gave them Kiriath Arba(O) (that is, Hebron(P)), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.) 12 But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.(Q)

13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (a city of refuge(R) for one accused of murder), Libnah,(S) 14 Jattir,(T) Eshtemoa,(U) 15 Holon,(V) Debir,(W) 16 Ain,(X) Juttah(Y) and Beth Shemesh,(Z) together with their pasturelands—nine towns from these two tribes.

17 And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon,(AA) Geba,(AB) 18 Anathoth(AC) and Almon, together with their pasturelands—four towns.

19 The total number of towns(AD) for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.(AE)

20 The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:

21 In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem(AF) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer,(AG) 22 Kibzaim and Beth Horon,(AH) together with their pasturelands—four towns.(AI)

23 Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,(AJ) 24 Aijalon(AK) and Gath Rimmon,(AL) together with their pasturelands—four towns.

25 From half the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach(AM) and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands—two towns.

26 All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.(AN)

27 The Levite clans of the Gershonites were given:

from the half-tribe of Manasseh,

Golan in Bashan(AO) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder(AP)) and Be Eshterah, together with their pasturelands—two towns;

28 from the tribe of Issachar,(AQ)

Kishion,(AR) Daberath,(AS) 29 Jarmuth(AT) and En Gannim,(AU) together with their pasturelands—four towns;

30 from the tribe of Asher,(AV)

Mishal,(AW) Abdon,(AX) 31 Helkath and Rehob,(AY) together with their pasturelands—four towns;

32 from the tribe of Naphtali,

Kedesh(AZ) in Galilee (a city of refuge for one accused of murder(BA)), Hammoth Dor and Kartan, together with their pasturelands—three towns.

33 The total number of towns of the Gershonite(BB) clans came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.

34 The Merarite clans (the rest of the Levites) were given:

from the tribe of Zebulun,(BC)

Jokneam,(BD) Kartah, 35 Dimnah and Nahalal,(BE) together with their pasturelands—four towns;

36 from the tribe of Reuben,

Bezer,(BF) Jahaz,(BG) 37 Kedemoth and Mephaath,(BH) together with their pasturelands—four towns;

38 from the tribe of Gad,

Ramoth(BI) in Gilead(BJ) (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Mahanaim,(BK) 39 Heshbon and Jazer,(BL) together with their pasturelands—four towns in all.

40 The total number of towns allotted to the Merarite clans, who were the rest of the Levites, came to twelve.(BM)

41 The towns of the Levites in the territory held by the Israelites were forty-eight in all, together with their pasturelands.(BN) 42 Each of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it; this was true for all these towns.

43 So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors,(BO) and they took possession(BP) of it and settled there.(BQ) 44 The Lord gave them rest(BR) on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies(BS) withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies(BT) into their hands.(BU) 45 Not one of all the Lord’s good promises(BV) to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

21 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;

And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs.

And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.

And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name.

10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.

11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.

12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,

14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,

15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,

16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.

17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,

18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.

19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,

22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.

23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,

24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.

25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.

26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.

27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.

28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,

29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.

30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,

31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.

32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.

33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.

36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,

37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.

38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,

39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.

41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.

42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.

43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.

45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
