Joshua 21:10-19
New King James Version
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 (A)And they gave them [a]Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of (B)Anak), (C)which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it. 12 But (D)the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13 Thus (E)to the children of Aaron the priest they gave (F)Hebron with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), (G)Libnah with its common-land, 14 (H)Jattir with its common-land, (I)Eshtemoa with its common-land, 15 (J)Holon with its common-land, (K)Debir with its common-land, 16 (L)Ain with its common-land, (M)Juttah with its common-land, and (N)Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes; 17 and from the tribe of Benjamin, (O)Gibeon with its common-land, (P)Geba with its common-land, 18 Anathoth with its common-land, and (Q)Almon with its common-land: four cities. 19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common-lands.
