OET (OET-LV) And_ the_people_of _they_gave of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_Lēviyyiy some_of_their_inheritance to the_mouth_of YHWH DOM the_cities the_these and_DOM lands_of_their_pasture.

OET (OET-RV) So the Israeli leaders gave these cities and the fields around them to the Levites for their inheritance as Yahweh had instructed:

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:1–45 The clan of Levi received towns to live in

21:3a

So by the command of the LORD,

So: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as So indicates the next event in the narrative. Translate this connecting word in a way that is natural in your language.

by the command of the LORD: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as by the command of the LORD is more literally, “by the mouth of Yahweh.”

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Just as Yahweh had commanded

According to what Yahweh had said

21:3b

the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:

the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance: The phrase their own inheritance refers to the towns and lands that the people of Israel received when Joshua and Eleazar the priest threw lots for them.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The Israel people gave these towns and the lands around them to the clan of Levi from the land that they had been given

The people of Israel gave to the Levi people some of the towns and pasturelands that they had received

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶל־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_gave sons_of Yisrael to,Levites some,of,their_inheritance to/towards command_of YHWH DOM the,cities the=these and=DOM lands_of,their_pasture )

See how you translated the same expression in [Joshua 19:50](../19/50.md). Alternate translation: [as Yahweh had commanded]
