Verse 3 is found in chapter 21 of Joshua. The Levites request cities in which to live because they do not receive their own tribal region. Through the casting of lots, cities are assigned from the various tribes. This distribution materializes the earlier statement that the Lord is Levi’s inheritance while also ensuring that Levites are present throughout Israel. Their territorial dispersion supports their role in the nation’s worship and communal life.

Les enfants d'Israël donnèrent alors aux Lévites, sur leur héritage, les villes suivantes et leurs banlieues, d'après l'ordre de l'Eternel.
E i figliuoli d’Israele diedero della loro eredità a’ Leviti, secondo il comandamento del Signore, queste città co’ lor contorni.
Por isso os filhos de Israel deram aos levitas da sua herança, conforme a ordem do SENHOR, as seguintes cidades e os seus arrabaldes.
於是 以色列 人照耶和華的指示,從自己的地業中,把這些城鎮和城鎮的郊外給了 利未 人。
