Joshua 21:9-19

9They gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these towns which are here mentioned by name.

10They were for the children of Aaron, of the clans of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi, for theirs was the first lot:

11So they gave them Kiriath-arba, the father of Anak (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah, with its surrounding pastures.

12But the fields of the city and its villages they had already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

13But to the children of Aaron the kohen they assigned Hebron (the city of refuge for the manslayer) with its pastures, Libnah with its pastures,

14Jattir with its pastures, Eshtemoa with its pastures,

15Holon with its pastures, Debir with its pastures,

16Ain with its pastures, Juttah with its pastures and Beth-shemesh with its pastures—9 towns from these two tribes.

17Then from the tribe of Benjamin: Gibeon with its pastures, Geba with its pastures,

18Anathoth with its pastures and Almon with its pastures—4 towns.

19All the towns of the kohanim, the children of Aaron, were 13 towns with their pastures.
