⁸And the sons of Israel gave to the deacons or Levites cities, and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses; and all gave by lot.

⁹Of the possessions of the lineages of the sons of Judah, and of Simeon, Joshua gave cities;

¹⁰to the sons of Aaron, by the meines of Kohath, of the kin of Levi, of the which cities these be the names; for the first lot went out to them;

¹¹Kiriatharba, of the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, in the hill of Judah, and the suburbs thereof by compass;

¹²soothly he gave the fields and towns thereof to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, to have in possession.

¹³Therefore Joshua gave to the sons of Aaron, the priest, Hebron, to be a city of refuge, and the suburbs thereof, and Libnah with his suburbs,

¹⁴and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,

¹⁵and Holon, and Debir,

¹⁶and Ain, and Juttah, and Bethshe-mesh, with their suburbs; nine cities, of the two lineages, as it is said.

¹⁷And of the lineage of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,

¹⁸and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs; four cities.

¹⁹All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.

²⁰But to the others, by the meines of the sons of Kohath, of the kin of Levi, this possession was given; of the lineage of Ephraim,

²¹the city of refuge, Shechem, with his suburbs, in the hill of Ephraim, and Gezer,

²²and Kibzaim, and Bethhoron, with their suburbs; four cities;

²⁴and Aijalon, and Gathrimmon, with their suburbs; four cities;

²⁵soothly of the half lineage of Manasseh, Taanach and Gathrimmon, with their suburbs; two cities.

²⁶All the cities were ten, and their suburbs, that were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lower degree.
