40. So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, who 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 pasture lands.
42. These cities were every one with their pasture lands round about them: thus were all these cities.
43. And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he swore to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt there.
