Joshua 21:1-4

1Then the heads of 1households of 2the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of 3households of the tribes of the sons of Israel. 2They spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, “4The Lord commanded 5through Moses to give us cities to live in, with their pasture lands for our cattle.” 3So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, according to the 6command of the Lord. 4Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, 7received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.
