And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

And the cities {H5892} shall they have to dwell in {H3427}; and the suburbs {H4054} of them shall be for their cattle {H929}, and for their goods {H7399}, and for all their beasts {H2416}.

They are to have the cities to live in, while their open land will be for their livestock, for growing crops and for all their animals.

The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.

And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
