And so all the cities of Levites, in the midst of [the] possession of the sons of Israel, were eight and forty, with their suburbs;
cursed be the strong vengeance of them, for it is obstinate, and the indignation of them, for it is hard; I shall part them in Jacob, and I shall scatter them in Israel.
And the sons of Israel gave to [the] deacons [or Levites] cities and suburbs of those [or them];
O! Jacob, they kept thy dooms, and thy law, O! Israel; they shall put incense in thy strong vengeance, and burnt sacrifice on thine altar.
And the sons of Israel gave of their possessions, by commandment of the Lord, cities and the suburbs of those [or them].
All the cities given to the sons of Merari, by their meines and kindreds, were twelve.
and all cities were parted by meines.
