New Living Translation
Joshua 21:9-19
9The Israelites gave the following towns from the tribes of Judah and Simeon
10to the descendants of Aaron, who were members of the Kohathite clan within the tribe of Levi, since the sacred lot fell to them first:
11Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, along with its surrounding pasturelands. (Arba was an ancestor of Anak.)
12But the open fields beyond the town and the surrounding villages were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13The following towns with their pasturelands were given to the descendants of Aaron the priest: Hebron (a city of refuge for those who accidentally killed someone), Libnah,
14Jattir, Eshtemoa,
15Holon, Debir,
16Ain, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh—nine towns from these two tribes.
17From the tribe of Benjamin the priests were given the following towns with their pasturelands: Gibeon, Geba,
18Anathoth, and Almon—four towns.
19So in all, thirteen towns with their pasturelands were given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
