New King James Version
Joshua 21:9-19
9So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,
10which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.
11And they gave them Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.
12But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13Thus to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), Libnah with its common-land,
14Jattir with its common-land, Eshtemoa with its common-land,
15Holon with its common-land, Debir with its common-land,
16Ain with its common-land, Juttah with its common-land, and Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes;
17and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common-land, Geba with its common-land,
18Anathoth with its common-land, and Almon with its common-land: four cities.
19All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common-lands.
