Joshua - ch 21 v 1 - 20

  1. Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;
  2. And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.
  3. And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.
  4. And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
  5. The rest of the children of Kohath by their families were given ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
  6. The children of Gershon by their families were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh which was in Bashan.
  7. The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.
  8. All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.
  9. From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:
  10. These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.
  11. They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.
  12. But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.
  13. And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands;
  14. And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands;
  15. And Holon with its grass-lands, and Debir with its grass-lands;
  16. And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes.
  17. And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon and Geba with their grass-lands;
  18. Anathoth and Almon with their grass-lands, four towns.
  19. Thirteen towns with their grass-lands were given to the children of Aaron, the priests.
  20. The rest of the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim.
