Levitical cities§1

1 Levitical heads approach Eleazar and Jesus — cities with pasturelands. Those who serve the altar live from the offering.

Latin · §1

Accesserunt capita Levitarum ad Eleazarum et Iesum — civitates cum suburbanis. Qui altari serviunt de oblatione vivunt.

Forty-eight cities§2

2 Forty-eight cities for the Levites — scattered so teaching is everywhere. Salt of the earth in every tribe.

Latin · §2

Quadraginta octo civitates Levitis — dispersae in Israel ut doctrina ubique. Sal terrae in omnibus tribubus.

Not one word failed§3

3 Not one word failed of all the Lord spoke — the promises’ faithfulness. All fulfilled.

Latin · §3

Non cecidit verbum unum ex omnibus quae locutus est Dominus — fides promissionum. Omnia impleta.

Rest given round about§4

4 The Lord gave rest round about. In Christ is true rest. Amen.

Latin · §4

Dedit Dominus requiem per circuitum. In Christo requies vera. Amen.
