Joshua 21:4-8 ▼

4 The first lot belonged to the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen cities from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

5 The rest of Kohath's descendants were allotted ten cities from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, and from the tribe of Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

6 Gershon's descendants were allotted thirteen cities from the clans of the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribes of Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7 Merari's descendants by their clans were allotted twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

8 So the Israelites assigned to the Levites by lot these cities and their grazing areas, as the LORD had instructed Moses.
