⁴⁰ All these towns were given to the children of Merari by their families, that is, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their heritage was twelve towns.

⁴⁰ All the cities for the sons of Merari, for their families, who are left of the families of the Levites -- their lot is twelve cities.

⁴⁰ 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.
