And the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
9
So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,
10
which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.
11
And they gave them Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.
12
But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13
Thus to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), Libnah with its common-land,
14
Jattir with its common-land, Eshtemoa with its common-land,
15
Holon with its common-land, Debir with its common-land,
16
Ain with its common-land, Juttah with its common-land, and Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes;
17
and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common-land, Geba with its common-land,
18
Anathoth with its common-land, and Almon with its common-land: four cities.
