And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.

And if anyone shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.

But to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and there was no inheritance in the land given to the Levites, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs separated for the livestock, and their cattle.

And they spoke to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our livestock.

And the lot came out for the children of Caath; and the sons of Aaron, the priests the Levites, had by lot thirteen cities out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin.

And the sons of Gershon had thirteen cities, out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Nephthali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot.

to the sons of Aaron of the family of Caath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these.

But the lands of the city, and its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh for a possession.

and Elom and its suburbs; and Tema and its suburbs;

and Asa and its suburbs; and Tany and its suburbs; and Beth Shemesh and its suburbs: nine cities from these two tribes.

and Anathoth and its suburbs; and Gamala and its suburbs; four cities.

And to the families, [even] the sons of Caath the Levites, that were left of the sons of Caath, there was [given] their priests' city,

and Beth Horon and its suburbs, four cities;

and Aijalon and its suburbs; and Garh Rimmon and its suburbs, four cities.

In all [were given] ten cities, and the suburbs of each belonging to them, to the families of the sons of Caath that remained.

And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion and its suburbs; and Daberath and its suburbs;

And out of the tribe of Asher, Basella and its suburbs; and Dabbon and its suburbs;

And of the tribe of Nephthali, the city set apart for the manslayer, Kadesh in Galilee, and its suburbs; and Nemmath and its suburbs; and Themmon and its suburbs; three cities.

And to the family of the sons of Merari the Levites that remained, [he gave] out of the tribe of Zebulun, Maan and its suburbs; and Kartah and its suburbs,

And beyond the Jordan over against Jericho, out of the tribe of Reuben, the city of refuge for the manslayer, Bezer in the wilderness; Miso and its suburbs;

And out of the tribe of Gad the city of refuge for the manslayer, both Ramoth in Gilead, and its suburbs; Camin and its suburbs;

All [these] cities [were given] to the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities.

a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities: and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders. And the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked. They gave him Thamnasachar in Mount Ephraim; and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it. And Joshua took the knives of stone in which he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.

And when you measure you land for inheritance, you shall set apart the firstfruits to the Lord, a holy space of the land, in length twenty-five thousand [reeds], and in breadth twenty thousand; it shall be holy in all its borders round about.

And out of this measurement shall you measure the length, twenty-five thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand; and in it shall be the Holy of Holies.

the length [shall be] twenty-five thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand. And the Levites that attend the house, they shall have cities to dwell in for a possession.

And the prince [shall have a portion] out of this, and out of this [there shall be a portion] for the firstfruits of the sanctuary, [and] for the possession of the city, in front of the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and in front of the possession of the city westward, and from the western parts eastward. And the length [shall be] equal to one of the parts of the western borders, and the length [shall be] to the eastern borders of the land.

And from the borders of Judah, from the eastern parts shall be the offering of firstfruits, in the breadth twenty-five thousand [reeds], and in length as one of the portions [measured] from the east even to the western parts; and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of them.

And there shall be [a portion taken] from the Levites, from the possession of the city in the midst of the princes between the borders of Judah and the borders of Benjamin, and it shall be [the portion] of the princes.

Or does He say [this] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, for it is written, that he that plows should plow in hope, and he that threshes, in hope should partake of his hope.

If others partake of this right over you, do not we even more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but bear all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

Thus also the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel.
