Joshua

40 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.

41 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, were forty-eight cities,

42 and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities:

42a and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders:

42b 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;

42c and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it:

42d and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.

43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and dwelt in it.

44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.

45 There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
