English Standard Version
Joshua 21:9-19
9Out of the tribe of the people of Judah and the tribe of the people of Simeon they gave the following cities mentioned by name,
10which went to the descendants of Aaron, one of the clans of the Kohathites who belonged to the people of Levi; since the lot fell to them first.
11They gave them Kiriath-arba (Arba being the father of Anak), that is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, along with the pasturelands around it.
12But the fields of the city and its villages had been given to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13And to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the manslayer, 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, Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands—nine cities out of these two tribes;
17then out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands,
18Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its pasturelands—four cities.
19The cities of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, were in all thirteen cities with their pasturelands.
