Joshua 21:8-29

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.
