1 Chronicles 6:54-65

54These were the places assigned to Aaron’s descendants from the Kohathite family for their settlements in their territory, because the first lot was for them.

55They were given Hebron in the land of Judah and its surrounding pasturelands,

56but the fields and settlements around the city were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh.

57Aaron’s descendants were given: Hebron (a city of refuge), Libnah and its pasturelands, Jattir, Eshtemoa and its pasturelands,

58Hilen and its pasturelands, Debir and its pasturelands,

59Ashan and its pasturelands, and Beth-shemesh and its pasturelands.

60From the tribe of Benjamin they were given Geba and its pasturelands, Alemeth and its pasturelands, and Anathoth and its pasturelands. They had thirteen towns in all among their families.

61To the rest of the Kohathites, ten towns from half the tribe of Manasseh were assigned by lot.

62The Gershomites were assigned thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Manasseh in Bashan according to their families.

63The Merarites were assigned by lot twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun according to their families.

64So the Israelites gave these towns and their pasturelands to the Levites.

65They assigned by lot the towns named above from the tribes of the descendants of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
