Cities for the Priests (Sons of Aaron)

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 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, named after the father of Anak (the same 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 children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the man slayer, Libnah with its suburbs,

14

Jattir with its suburbs, Eshtemoa with its suburbs,

15

Holon with its suburbs, Debir with its suburbs,

16

Ain with its suburbs, 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.
