The children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as Yahweh commanded by Moses.
9
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:
10
and they were for the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.
11
They gave them Kiriath-arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak (the same is Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah, with the suburbs of it round about it.
12
But the fields of the city, and the villages of it, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
13
To the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its suburbs,
14
and Jattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs,
15
and Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs,
16
and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs, [and] Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
17
Out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its suburbs, Geba with its suburbs,
18
Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities.
19
All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
