Josué 21
Septante en francais
1Et les chefs de famille des fils de Levi allèrent trouver Eléazar le prêtre, Josué, fils de Nau, et les chefs de famille des tribus d'Israël.
2Ils leur parlèrent, en Silo, dans la terre de Chanaan, disant : Le Seigneur a ordonné à Moïse de nous donner des villes à habiter et leurs banlieues, pour notre bétail.
3En conséquence, les fils d'Israël donnèrent aux lévites pour les posséder en héritage, selon l'ordre du Seigneur, des villes avec leurs banlieues ;
4Le lot de la famille de Caath fut désigné le premier, et les fils d'Aaron, prêtres et lévites, eurent treize villes des tribus de Juda, de Siméon et de Benjamin ;
5Le reste des fils de Caath eut dix villes des tribus d'Ephraïm, et de Dan et de la demi-tribu de Manassé ;
6Le lot des fils de Gerson fut ensuite désigné ; ils eurent treize villes des tribus d'Issachar, d'Aser et de Nephtbali et de la demi-tribu de Manassé, au delà du Jourdain ;
7Le lot des fils de Mérari, par familles, fut désigné ; ils eurent douze villes des tribus de Ruben, de Gad et de Zabulon.
8Les fils d'Israël donnèrent aux lévites, par le sort, ces villes avec leurs banlieues, comme le Seigneur l'avait prescrit à Moïse.
9La tribu de Juda, celle de Siméon et une part de celle de Benjamin, livrèrent ces villes, et elles furent possédées
10Par les fils d'Aaron, de la famille de Caath, de la tribu de Lévi, parce que le sort les leur avait assignées.
11On leur donna aussi Cariath-Arboc, métropole des fils d'Enac, la même qu'Hébron dans les montagnes de Juda, et la banlieue qui l'entoure ;
12Quant aux champs de la ville et à ses villages, Josué les avait donnés en pleine possession aux fils de Caleb, fils de Jéphoné.
13Aux fils d'Aaron, il donna cette ville d'Hébron, comme ville de refuge pour les meurtriers, avec toutes les dépendances qui y étaient attachées ; il leur donna aussi Lemna et ses dépendances ;
14Elom et ses dépendances, Tema et ses dépendances,
15Gella et ses dépendances, Dabir et ses dépendances, Bethsamys et ses dépendances : neuf villes des deux tribus de Juda et de Siméon ;
16Asa et ses dépendances, Tana et ses dépendances ;
17Ils eurent, de la tribu de Benjamin, Gabaon et ses dépendances, Gatheth et ses dépendances,
18Anathoth et ses dépendances, Gamala et ses dépendances : quatre villes ;
19En tout treize villes pour les prêtres, fils d'Aaron.
20Les familles des fils de Caath, le reste des lévites issus de Caath eurent d'abord la ville des prêtres dans la tribu d'Ephraïm.
21On leur donna Sichem, la ville de refuge pour les meurtriers, avec ses dépendances ; ils eurent, en outre, Gazara, sa banlieue et ses dépendances,
22Et les deux Betboron avec leurs dépendances : quatre villes.
23Ils eurent encore, de la tribu de Dan, Helcotaïm et ses dépendances, Géthédan et ses dépendances,
24Elon et ses dépendances, Géthéremmon et ses dépendances : quatre villes ;
25Et, de la demi-tribu de Manassé, Tanach et ses dépendances, et Jébada et ses dépendances : deux villes.
26En tout dix villes et leurs dépendances pour le reste des fils de Caath.
27Aux lévites, fils de Gerson, il fut donné, de l'autre demi-tribu de Manassé, la ville assignée aux meurtriers, Gaulon, dans le royaume de Basan, avec ses dépendances, et Bosora avec ses dépendances : deux villes.
28De la tribu d'Issachar : Cison et ses dépendances, Debba et ses dépendances,
29Remniath et ses dépendances, et la Fontaine des Lettres, avec ses dépendances : quatre villes ;
30De la tribu d'Aser : Basella avec ses dépendances, et Dabbon avec ses dépendances,
31Chelcat avec ses dépendances, et Rhaab avec ses dépendances : quatre villes ;
32De la tribu de Nephthali, la ville de refuge Cadès en Galilée et ses dépendances, Nemmath et ses dépendances, et Themmon avec ses dépendances : trois villes.
33En tout pour les fils de Gerson, par familles, treize villes.
34A la famille des fils de Mérari, au reste des lévites, il fut donné de la tribu de Zabulon, Maan et sa banlieue, Cadès et sa banlieue,
35Sella et sa banlieue : trois villes ;
36Et au delà du Jourdain, en face de Jéricho, de la tribu de Ruben, la ville de refuge Bosor, dans le désert, la même que Miso et sa banlieue, Jazer et sa banlieue,
37Decmon et sa banlieue, Mapha et sa banlieue : quatre villes ;
38De la tribu de Gad, la ville de refuge Ramoth en Galaad et sa banlieue, Camin et sa banlieue,
39Esebon et sa banlieue, Jazer et sa banlieue : en tout quatre villes.
40Telles sont toutes les villes données par familles, au reste des lévites, aux fils de Mérari, et leur nombre fut limité à douze.
41Les lévites eurent ainsi, au milieu des possessions des fils d'Israël, quarante-huit villes
42Et leurs banlieues ; ils eurent chaque ville avec sa banlieue, et toutes ces villes étaient entourées de banlieues. Josué eut alors achevé de visiter la terre promise, et d'assigner à chacun ses limites. Or, les fils d'Israël avaient fait la part de Josué, selon l'ordre du Seigneur, ils lui avaient donné la ville qu'il avait demandée, Thamnasachar, dans les montagnes d'Ephraïm ; il l'avait bâtie et il l'habitait. Josué y recueillit les couteaux de pierre avec lesquels il avait circoncis les fils d'Israël nés pendant le voyage dans le désert ; il les déposa en Thamnasachar.
43C'est ainsi que le Seigneur donna à Israël toute la terre qu'il avait promis à leurs pères de leur donner, ils en prirent possession et ils l'habitèrent.
44Et le Seigneur, comme il l'avait promis à leurs pères, rétablit la paix tout alentour ; de tous leurs ennemis, nul ne se souleva contre eux. Le Seigneur avait livré tous leurs ennemis à leurs mains,
45Aucune des bonnes paroles que le Seigneur avait dites aux fils d'Israël ne tomba à terre ; toutes furent vérifiées.

42Y estas ciudades estaban apartadas la una de la otra cada cual con sus ejidos alrededor de ellas: lo cual fué en todas estas ciudades.
43Así dió Jehová á Israel toda la tierra que había jurado dar á sus padres; y poseyéronla, y habitaron en ella.
44Y Jehová les dió reposo alrededor, conforme á todo lo que había jurado á sus padres: y ninguno de todos los enemigos les paró delante, sino que Jehová entregó en sus manos á todos sus enemigos.
45No faltó palabra de todas la buenas que habló Jehová á la casa de Israel; todo se cumplió.

1Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
2And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
3And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.

11And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
12But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

27And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her suburbs; two cities.
28And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,

39Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
40So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
41All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
42These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
43And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
