Joshua 21
1 While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
茲にレビの族長等來りて祭司ヱレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫の支派の族長等の許にいたり
カナンの地シロにおいて之に語りて言ふヱホバかつて我らに住べき邑々を與ふることおよびその郊地を我らの家畜のために與ふる事をモーセによりて命じおきたまへりと
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
イスラエルの子孫すなはちヱホバの命にしたがひて自己の產業の中より左の邑々とその郊地とをレビ人に與ふ
4 [First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

8 So the Israeli leaders gave cities and pastureland to the tribe of Levi, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses that they should do.

11 They allotted to them Kiriath-Arba (which is [now named] Hebron), in the hilly area of Judah. Arba received its name because Arba was the ancestor of [the giants of] the Anak people-group.
