36 The tribe of Reuben gave them Bezer, Jahaz,
37 Kedemoth and Mephaath. All the pastures around these 4 towns were also given to the Merarites.
38 The tribe of Gad gave them Ramoth in Gilead. (Ramoth was a city of safety.) They also gave them Mahanaim,
39 Heshbon and Jazer. Gad also gave them all the pastures around these 4 towns.
40 So the total number of towns given to the Merarite family groups was 12.
41 A total of 48 towns with their pastures were given to the Levites. All these towns were in the land controlled by the Israelites.
42 Each town had pastures around it.
