Joshua 21:9-19
9These are the names of the cities from the tribes of Judah and Simeon
10that they gave Aaron’s descendants who were from the families of Kohath in the tribe of Levi. Their lot was the first one drawn.
11They gave them Kiriath Arba (Arba was Anak’s father) and the pastureland around it. This is the city of Hebron located in the mountains of Judah.
12But they gave its fields and villages to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
13So they gave the following cities with pasturelands to the descendants of Aaron, the priest. The nine cities from those two tribes were Hebron (a city of refuge for murderers), Libnah,
14Jattir, Eshtemoa,
15Holon, Debir,
16Ain, Juttah, and Beth Shemesh.
17The tribe of Benjamin also gave them four cities: Gibeon, Geba,
18Anathoth, and Almon.
19In all, 13 cities with pasturelands were given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
