For
the Levites ,

there

together

every
one
with
their
suburbs
round
about
them:
thus
it
was with
all these
cities.
Each
of
these cities had
its
own
surrounding
pasturelands;
this
was true
for
all the
cities.
So
Jehovah
gave unto
Israel all the land which
he sware
to give unto
their fathers ;
and they possessed
it ,
and dwelt
therein
.
Thus
the
LORD
gave Israel all the land He had
sworn
to give their fathers ,
and they took
possession
of
it and settled
in
it
.
And Jehovah
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 ;
Jehovah
delivered all their enemies into their hand.
And 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.
There
failed
not aught
of any
good thing
which
Jehovah
had
spoken
unto
the house of Israel; all
came
to
pass
.
Not one
of all
the
LORD’s
good promises
to
the house of Israel had
failed
; everything
was
fulfilled
.
