Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel
1Accesseruntque principes familiarum Levi ad Eleazarum sacerdotem, et Josue filium Nun, et ad duces cognationum per singulas tribus filiorum Israël:
2at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”
2locutique sunt ad eos in Silo terræ Chanaan, atque dixerunt: Dominus præcepit per manum Moysi, ut darentur nobis urbes ad habitandum, et suburbana earum ad alenda jumenta.
3So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
3Dederuntque filii Israël de possessionibus suis juxta imperium Domini, civitates et suburbana earum.
4The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
4Egressaque est sors in familiam Caath filiorum Aaron sacerdotis, de tribubus Juda, et Simeon, et Benjamin, civitates tredecim:
5The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
5et reliquis filiorum Caath, id est Levitis, qui superfuerant, de tribubus Ephraim, et Dan, et dimidia tribu Manasse, civitates decem.
6The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
6Porro filii Gerson egressa est sors, ut acciperent de tribubus Issachar et Aser et Nephthali, dimidiaque tribu Manasse in Basan, civitates numero tredecim.
7And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
7Et filiis Merari per cognationes suas de tribubus Ruben et Gad et Zabulon urbes duodecim.
8So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
8Dederuntque filii Israël Levitis civitates et suburbana earum, sicut præcepit Dominus per manum Moysi, singulis sorte tribuentes.
9From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name
9De tribubus filiorum Juda et Simeon dedit Josue civitates, quarum ista sunt nomina,
10to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:
10filiis Aaron per familias Caath Levitici generis (prima enim sors illis egressa est),
11They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
11Cariatharbe patris Enac, quæ vocatur Hebron, in monte Juda, et suburbana ejus per circuitum.
12But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.
12Agros vero et villas ejus dederat Caleb filio Jephone ad possidendum.
13So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave these cities, together with their pasturelands: Hebron, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah,
13Dedit ergo filiis Aaron sacerdotis Hebron confugii civitatem, ac suburbana ejus: et Lobnam cum suburbanis suis:
14Jattir, Eshtemoa,
14et Jether, et Esthemo,
15Holon, Debir,
15et Holon, et Dabir,
16Ain, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh—nine cities from these two tribes, together with their pasturelands.
16et Ain, et Jeta, et Bethsames, cum suburbanis suis: civitates novem de tribubus, ut dictum est, duabus.
17And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon, Geba,
17De tribu autem filiorum Benjamin, Gabaon, et Gabæ,
18Anathoth, and Almon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
18et Anathoth et Almon, cum suburbanis suis: civitates quatuor.
19In all, thirteen cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
19Omnes simul civitates filiorum Aaron sacerdotis, tredecim, cum suburbanis suis.
20The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim

26In all, ten cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.
26Omnes civitates decem, et suburbana earum, datæ sunt filiis Caath inferioris gradus.
27This is what the Levite clans of the Gershonites were given: From the half-tribe of Manasseh they were given Golan in Bashan, a city of refuge for the manslayer, and Beeshterah—two cities, together with their pasturelands.
27Filiis quoque Gerson Levitici generis dedit de dimidia tribu Manasse confugii civitates, Gaulon in Basan, et Bosram, cum suburbanis suis, civitates duas.
28From the tribe of Issachar they were given Kishion, Daberath,
28Porro de tribu Issachar, Cesion, et Dabereth,

41For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.
41Deditque Dominus Deus Israëli omnem terram, quam traditurum se patribus eorum juraverat: et possederunt illam, atque habitaverunt in ea.
42Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
42Dataque est ab eo pax in omnes per circuitum nationes: nullusque eis hostium resistere ausus est, sed cuncti in eorum ditionem redacti sunt.
43Thus the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled in it.
43Ne unum quidem verbum, quod illis præstiturum se esse promiserat, irritum fuit, sed rebus expleta sunt omnia.
44And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
