JOSHUA 21:40 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.”
Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it — This summary marks a major covenantal statement: the promise made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has been fulfilled in concrete territorial possession. The verb 'gave' (nātan) and 'took possession' (wayyīrešû) place the action in the completed past; the conquest and allotment are finished realities.
