1 Chronicles 6:54-61
54These are the places where Levi’s descendants lived, the places where they settled in the territory chosen for them when lots were drawn: The ⌞first⌟ lot was drawn for the descendants of Aaron from the family descended from Kohath.
55They were given Hebron in the territory of Judah as well as the pastureland around it,
56but the fields belonging to the city and its villages were given to Caleb, son of Jephunneh.
57Aaron’s descendants were given Hebron as a city of refuge, Libnah with its pastureland, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its pastureland,
58Hilen with its pastureland, Debir with its pastureland,
59Ashan with its pastureland, and Beth Shemesh with its pastureland.
60From the tribe of Benjamin, Aaron’s descendants received Geba with its pastureland, Alemeth with its pastureland, and Anathoth with its pastureland. There was a total of 13 cities for their families.
61The rest of Kohath’s descendants received 10 cities chosen by lot from the families of half of the tribe of Manasseh.
