6. The Gershonites received by lot thirteen cities from the families of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7. The families of the Merarites received twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
8. So the People of Israel gave these cities with their pastures to the Levites just as God had ordered through Moses, that is, by lot.
43-44. And so God gave Israel the entire land that he had solemnly vowed to give to their ancestors. They took possession of it and made themselves at home in it. And God gave them rest on all sides, as he had also solemnly vowed to their ancestors. Not a single one of their enemies was able to stand up to them—God handed over all their enemies to them.
45. Not one word failed from all the good words God spoke to the house of Israel. Everything came out right.
