54 Now these were the territories assigned to the descendants of Aaron (light bringer) from the Kohathite clan for their settlements, because the first lot fell to them:

55 They were given Hebron (association) in the land of Judah (praised) and its surrounding pasturelands.

56 But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb (dog) son of Jephunneh (He will be facing).

57 So the descendants of Aaron (light bringer) were given Hebron (association) (a city of refuge), Libnah (pavement) , Jattir (plenty), Eshtemoa (fire of astonishment),

58 Hilen (place of caves) [Hilez], Debir (sanctuary),

59 Ashan (Ain), Juttah, and Beth-shemesh (house of the sun), together with their pasturelands.

60 And from the tribe of Benjamin (son of the right hand) they were given Gibeon, Geba (hill), Alemeth (covering), and Anathoth (answers to prayer), together with their pasturelands. So they had thirteen cities in all among their families.

61 To the rest of the Kohathites (assembly), ten cities were allotted from the half-tribe of Manasseh (causing to forget).
