3And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.
4And 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.
5The 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.
6The 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.
7The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.
8All 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.
9From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:
10These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.
11They 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.
12But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.
13And 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;
14And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands;
15And Holon with its grass-lands, and Debir with its grass-lands;
16And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes.
17And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon and Geba with their grass-lands;
18Anathoth and Almon with their grass-lands, four towns.
19Thirteen towns with their grass-lands were given to the children of Aaron, the priests.
20The rest of the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim.
21And they gave them Shechem with its grass-lands in the hill-country of Ephraim, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Gezer with its grass-lands;
22And Kibzaim and Beth-horon with their grass-lands, four towns.
23And from the tribe of Dan, Elteke and Gibbethon with their grass-lands;
24Aijalon and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, four towns.
25And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, two towns.
26All the towns of the rest of the families of the children of Kohath were ten with their grass-lands.
27And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, they gave from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Ashtaroth with its grass-lands, two towns.
