Joshua 21:1-4

1The Levite family heads approached the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family heads of the Israelite tribes.

2At Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, they told them, “The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to live in, with their pasturelands for our livestock.”

3So the Israelites, by the Lord’s command, gave the Levites these cities with their pasturelands from their inheritance.

4The lot came out for the Kohathite clans: The Levites who were the descendants of the priest Aaron received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
