Joshua 21:9-19

9And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name,1 10Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot. 11And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with its common lands around it.2 12But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with its common lands, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with its common lands, 14And Jattir with its common lands, and Eshtemoa with its common lands, 15And Holon with its common lands, and Debir with its common lands,3 16And Ain with its common lands, and Juttah with its common lands, and Bethshemesh with its common lands; nine cities out of those two tribes.4 17And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common lands, Geba with its common lands,5 18Anathoth with its common lands, and Almon with its common lands; four cities.6 19All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common lands.
