⁹And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which were mentioned by name,

¹⁰and which the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi had (for theirs was the first lot);

¹¹and they gave them Kirjath-Arba, which Arba was the father of Anak, that is, Hebron, in the mountain of Judah, with its suburbs round about it.

¹²But the fields of the city and the hamlets thereof gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
