Joshua 21:9-16 ▼

9 They gave out of the tribe of the people of Judah, and out of the tribe of the people of Simeon, these cities which are mentioned by name:

10 and they were for the descendants of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the people of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.

11 They gave them Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (that is, Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its suburbs around it.

12 But they gave the fields of the city and its villages to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

13 To the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah with its suburbs,

14 Jattir with its suburbs, Eshtemoa with its suburbs,

15 Holon with its suburbs, Debir with its suburbs,

16 Ashan with its suburbs, Juttah with its suburbs, and Beth Shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
