Joshua 21:8-29

⁸And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot.

⁹And the tribe of the children of Judah, and the tribe of the children of Simeon, and part of the tribe of the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned

¹⁰to the sons of Aaron of the family of Kohath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these.

¹¹And they gave to them Kiriath-arba the metropolis of the sons of Anak; this is Hebron in the mountain country of Judah, and the suburbs round it.

¹²But the lands of the city, and its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh for a possession.

¹³And to the sons of Aaron he gave the city of refuge for the slayer, Hebron, and the suburbs belonging to it; and Libnah and the suburbs belonging to it;

¹⁴and Aelom and its suburbs; and Eshtemoa and its suburbs;

¹⁵and Holon and its suburbs; and Debir and its suburbs;

¹⁶and Asa and its suburbs; and Tany and its suburbs; and Beth-shemesh and its suburbs: nine cities from these two tribes.

¹⁷And from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon and its suburbs; and Gatheth and its suburbs;

¹⁸and Anathoth and its suburbs; and Gamala and its suburbs; four cities.

¹⁹All the cities of the sons of Aaron the priests, thirteen.

²⁰And to the families, even the sons of Kohath the Levites, that were left of the sons of Kohath, there was given their priests’ city,

²¹out of the tribe of Ephraim; and they gave them the slayer’s city of refuge, Shechem, and its suburbs, and Gezer and its appendages, and its suburbs;

²²and Beth-horon and its suburbs: four cities:

²³and of the tribe of Dan, Elteke and its suburbs; and Gibbethon and its suburbs:

²⁴and Aijalon and its suburbs; and Gath-rimmon and its suburbs: four cities.

²⁵And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and its suburbs; and Jebatha and its suburbs; two cities.

²⁶In all were given ten cities, and the suburbs of each belonging to them, to the families of the sons of Kohath that remained.

²⁷And Joshua gave to the sons of Gershon the Levites out of the other half tribe of Manasseh cities set apart for the slayers, Golan in the country of Bashan, and its suburbs; and Beeshterah and its suburbs; two cities.

²⁸And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion and its suburbs; and Daberath and its suburbs;
