1 Then the princes of the families of Levi came to Eleazar the priest, and to Josue the son of Nun, and to the princes of the kindreds of all the tribes of the children of Israel:
Emesịa, ndị ndu ezinaụlọ Livayị bịakwutere Elieza, onye nchụaja, na Joshua, nwa Nun, na ndịisi ebo Izrel,
2 And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle.

Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nyere ụmụ Izrel ala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ iyi inye ndị nna nna ha. Ha nwetara ya, biri nʼime ya.
