41For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.
“All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their”
“all the cities of the Levites with the possession of the children of Israel were 48 cities with their suburbs.”
42Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
“These cities were every one with their pasture lands round about them. Thus were all these cities.”
43Thus 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 the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he swore to give unto their fathers, and they possessed it, and they dwelt therein.”
“The Lord gave unto Israel all the land which He swore to give unto their fathers, and they possessed it and dwelt therein.”
“So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.”
“the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which He swore to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and they dwelt therein.”
“the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers and they possessed it and dwelt therein”
44And 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.
“And the Lord gave them rest round about according to all that He swore unto their fathers. And there stood not a man of all their enemies before them, for the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.”
“The Lord gave them rest all around according to all that he had sworn to their fathers, and not a man of all their enemies stood against them. The Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.”
“And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as He had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them. Not one. For the Lord had given all their enemies into their hands.”
“and the Lord 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 for the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.”
“And the Lord gave them rest round about according to all that he swore unto their fathers. There stood not a man of all their enemies before them. And the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.”
“And the Lord gave them rest round about according to all that he swore unto their fathers, and there stood not a man of all of their enemies before them. The Lord delivered all of their enemies under their hand,”
45Not one of all the LORD's good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
“there failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel, it all came to pass.”
“Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed. All came to pass.”
“There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel all came to pass.”
“Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel all came to pass.”
“Not one of the good promises Which the lord had made To the house of Israel failed. All of them came to pass.”
“There failed not aught of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel all came to pass.”
