In context
37 Of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Galaad, one of the cities of refuge, and Manaim and Hesebon and Jaser, four cities with their suburbs,
38 All the cities of the children of Merari by their families and kindreds, were twelve.
39 So all the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight,
40 With their suburbs, each distributed by the families.
41 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
42 And he gave them peace from all nations round about: and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under their dominion.
43 Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.
