They gave from the tribe of the descendants of Y'hudah and from the tribe of the descendants of Shim'on these cities here mentioned by name;

They gave them: Kiryat-Arba - this Arba was the father of 'Anak - (that is, Hevron), in the hills of Y'hudah, with the surrounding open land;

Yatir with its surrounding open land; Esht'moa with its surrounding open land;

15

Holon with its surrounding open land; D'vir with its surrounding open land;

18

'Anatot with its surrounding open land and 'Almon with its surrounding open land - four cities.
