The heads of the Levite families request the cities the LORD commanded through Moses, and Israel assigns forty-eight cities with surrounding pasturelands among the tribal inheritances. The chapter closes with a sweeping summary: the LORD gave Israel the land he swore to the fathers, gave them rest round about, and not one good thing failed of all that he had promised.
