Joshua 21:9-26

9The Israelites gave these cities by name from the tribes of the descendants of Judah and Simeon

10to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because they received the first lot.

11They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron; Arba was the father of Anak) with its surrounding pasturelands in the hill country of Judah.

12But they gave the fields and settlements of the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

13They gave to the descendants of the priest Aaron: Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands, Libnah with its pasturelands,

14Jattir with its pasturelands, Eshtemoa with its pasturelands,

15Holon with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands,

16Ain with its pasturelands, Juttah with its pasturelands, and Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands — nine cities from these two tribes.

17From the tribe of Benjamin they gave: Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands,

18Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its pasturelands — four cities.

19All thirteen cities with their pasturelands were for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

20The allotted cities to the remaining clans of Kohath’s descendants, who were Levites, came from the tribe of Ephraim.

21The Israelites gave them: Shechem, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer with its pasturelands,

22Kibzaim with its pasturelands, and Beth-horon with its pasturelands — four cities.

23From the tribe of Dan they gave: Elteke with its pasturelands, Gibbethon with its pasturelands,

24Aijalon with its pasturelands, and Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands — four cities.

25From half the tribe of Manasseh they gave: Taanach with its pasturelands and Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands — two cities.

26All ten cities with their pasturelands were for the clans of Kohath’s other descendants.
