Joshua 21:6-24

⁶Then the people descended from Gershon were given, by the casting of lots, thirteen cities from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

⁷The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

⁸So the people of Israel gave, by casting lots, these cities (including their pasturelands) to the Levites, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.

⁹From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.

¹⁰These cities were given to the descendants of Aaron, who were among the clans of the Kohathites, who in turn were from the tribe of Levi. For the first casting of lots had fallen to them.

¹¹The Israelites gave them Kiriath Arba (Arba had been the father of Anak), the same place as Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the pasturelands around it.

¹²But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.

¹³To the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its pasturelands—which was a city of refuge for any who killed another unintentionally—and Libnah with its pasturelands,

¹⁴Jattir with its pasturelands, and Eshtemoa with its pasturelands.

¹⁵They also gave Holon with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands,

¹⁶Ain with its pasturelands, Juttah with its pasturelands, and Beth Shemesh with its pasturelands. There were nine cities that were given from these two tribes.

¹⁷From the tribe of Benjamin were given Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands,

¹⁸Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its suburbs—four cities.

¹⁹The cities given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were thirteen cities in all, including their pasturelands.

²⁰As for the rest of Kohathites who belong to the Kohathite clans of the Levites—they had cities given to them from the tribe of Ephraim by the casting of lots.

²¹To them were given Shechem with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim—a city of refuge for any who killed a person unintentionally—Gezer with its pasturelands,

²²Kibzaim with its pasturelands, and Beth Horon with its pasturelands—four cities in all.

²³From the tribe of Dan, the clan of Kohath was given Eltekeh with its pasturelands, Gibbethon with its pasturelands,

²⁴Aijalon with its pasturelands, and Gath Rimmon with its pasturelands—four cities in all.
