54Now theseH428 were the territoriesH1366 assigned to the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175 from the KohathiteH6956 clanH4940 for their settlementsH4186H2918, becauseH3588 the first lotH1486 fellH1961 to them:

55They were givenH5414 HebronH2275 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and its surroundingH5439 pasturelandsH4054. 56But the fieldsH7704 and villagesH2691 around the cityH5892 were givenH5414 to CalebH3612 sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312. 57So the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175 were givenH5414 HebronH2275 (a cityH5892 of refugeH4733), LibnahH3841,1 JattirH3492, EshtemoaH851, 58HilenH2432,2 DebirH1688, 59AshanH6228,3 Juttah,4 and Beth-shemeshH1053, together withH853 their pasturelandsH4054. 60And from the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144 they were given Gibeon,5 GebaH1387, AlemethH5964, and AnathothH6068, together withH853 their pasturelandsH4054. So they had thirteenH7969H6240H5892 citiesH5892 in allH3605 among their familiesH4940. 61To the restH3498H4940 of the KohathitesH1121H6955, tenH6235 citiesH5892 were allottedH1486 from the half-tribeH4276H4294H2677 of ManassehH4519.

62The GershomitesH1121H1647,6 according to their clansH4940, were allotted thirteenH7969H6240 citiesH5892 from the tribesH4294 of IssacharH3485H4294, AsherH836H4294, NaphtaliH5321H4294, and ManassehH4519 in BashanH1316.

63The MeraritesH1121H4847, according to their clansH4940, were allottedH1486 twelveH8147H6240 citiesH5892 from the tribesH4294 of ReubenH7205H4294, GadH1410H4294, and ZebulunH2074.

64So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 gaveH5414 to the LevitesH3881 these citiesH5892 and their pasturelandsH4054. 65They assignedH5414 by lotH1486 the citiesH5892H428 namedH7121 aboveH8034 from the tribesH4294 of JudahH1121H3063H4294, SimeonH1121H8095H4294, and BenjaminH1121H1144.
