Joshua 21:5-39

5They also gave to the other descendants of Kohath, towns from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and the west half of Manasseh.

6Then they gave 13 towns to the descendants of Gershon. Those towns came from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali and the east half of Manasseh in Bashan.

7They gave 12 towns to the descendants of Merari. Those towns came from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.

8In that way, the Israelites gave these towns to the Levites, as well as land for their animals. They used lots to do it. They did as the Lord had told Moses to do.

9These are the names of the towns that the tribes of Simeon and Judah gave to the Levites.

10The Kohathite clans who were descendants of Aaron received these towns, because God chose them first.

11They received Kiriath Arba (or Hebron), with land near to it, in the hill country of Judah. Arba was the father of Anak.

12But the fields and villages near Hebron belonged to Caleb, son of Jephunneh.

13Hebron was one of the safe cities. The descendants of Aaron, the priest, received Hebron, Libnah,

14Jattir, Eshtemoa,

15Holon, Debir,

16Ain, Juttah and Beth Shemesh, as well as their fields. These two tribes gave them nine towns.

17Benjamin's tribe also gave four towns to them: Gibeon, Geba,

18Anathoth and Almon, as well as their fields.

19So the priests, descendants of Aaron, received 13 towns with their fields.

20The tribe of Ephraim gave some towns to Levites from other clans of Kohath.

21They gave them Shechem, a safe city, in the hill country of Ephraim, as well as Gezer,

22Kibzaim and Beth Horon, with their fields. That was four towns.

23The tribe of Dan gave them Eltekeh, Gibbethon,

24Aijalon, and Gath-Rimmon. That was another four towns with their fields.

25The west half tribe of Manasseh gave them Taanach and Gath-Rimmon, with their fields. That was two towns.

26So these Kohathite clans received ten towns with their fields.

27The Levites from the clans of Gershon received these towns. The east half tribe of Manasseh gave them Golan in Bashan, a safe city, and Be Eshtarah. That was two towns, as well as their fields.

28The tribe of Issachar gave them Kishion, Daberath,

29Jarmuth and En Gannim, with their fields. That was another four towns.

30The tribe of Asher gave them Mishal, Abdon,

31Helkath and Rehob, with their fields. That was four more towns.

32The tribe of Naphtali gave them Kedesh in Galilee, a safe city, Hammoth Dor and Kartan, with their fields. That was three towns.

33So the clans of Gershon received 13 cities with their fields.

34The other Levites were from the clan of Merari. The tribe of Zebulun gave them Jokneam, Kartah,

35Dimnah and Nahalal. That was four towns, as well as their fields.

36The tribe of Reuben gave them Bezer, Jahaz,

37Kedemoth and Mephaath, with their fields. That was four towns.

38The tribe of Gad gave them Ramoth in Gilead, a safe city, Mahanaim,

39Heshbon and Jazer, with their fields. That was four more towns.
