All the Israelites<n id="1" /> who were around them fled at their cry,<n id="2" /> for they said, &#8220;What if<n id="3" /> the earth swallows us too?&#8221;

and they started on their journey.<n id="1" /> The surrounding cities were afraid of God,<n id="2" /> and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.p>

&#8220;Instruct the Israelites to give<n id="1" /> the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites<n id="2" /> will possess. You must also give the Levites grazing land around the towns.

All their neighbors assisted<n id="1" /> them with silver utensils,<n id="2" /> gold, equipment, animals, and expensive gifts, not to mention<n id="3" /> all the voluntary offerings.p>
