Joshua 21:3-8

3So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, according to the 1command 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, 2received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.

5The rest of the sons of Kohath 3received ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim and from the tribe of Dan and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.

6The sons of Gershon 4received thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar and from the tribe of Asher and from the tribe of Naphtali and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7The sons of Merari according to their families 5received twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben and from the tribe of Gad and from the tribe of Zebulun.

8Now the 6sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasture lands, as the Lord had commanded 7through Moses.
