¶ And vnto the children of Gershon of the families of the Leuites, out of the other halfe tribe of Manasseh, they gaue Golan in Bashan, with her suburbs, to be a citie of refuge for the slayer: and Beeshterah with her suburbs, two cities.

¶ And vnto the families of the children of Merari the rest of the Leuites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Iokneam, with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remayning of the families of the Leuites, were by their lot, twelue cities.

All the cities of the Leuites within the possession of the children of Israel, were fourty and eight cities, with their suburbs.

And the Leuites tooke downe the Arke of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the iewels of golde were, and put them on the great stone: And the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offrings, and sacrificed sacrifices the same day vnto the LORD.

¶ And loe, Zadok also, and all the Leuites were with him, bearing the Arke of the Couenant of God, and they set downe the Arke of God; and Abiathar went vp, vntill all the people had done passing out of the citie.

And they brought vp the Arke of the LORD, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle, euen those did the Priests & the Leuites bring vp.

The sonnes of Merari: Mahli, and Mushi. And these are the families of the Leuites, according to their fathers.

Their brethren also the Leuits were appointed vnto all maner of seruice of the Tabernacle of the house of God.

And the children of Israel gaue to the Leuites these cities, with their suburbs.
