Joshua 21:3-12

³So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.

⁴The lot was cast for the families of the Kothaites. These Levites, descendants of Aaron, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

⁵The remaining families of the descendants of Kothah were allotted ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

⁶The families of the descendants of Gershon were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh living in Bashan.

⁷The families of the descendants of Merari were allotted twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

⁸So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.

⁹They gave from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon the following towns, specifically named,

¹⁰to the families of the Kothaites, descendants of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, since the first lot fell to them:

¹¹Kiriath-arba (or Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, together with the pastures around it. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

¹²But the more distant fields from the town and the villages had been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh to own.
