Joshua 21:9-19

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.
