Joshua 21:9-16 ▼

9 They assigned from the tribes of Judah and Simeon the cities listed below.

10 They were assigned to the Kohathite clans of the Levites who were descendants of Aaron, for the first lot belonged to them.

11 They assigned them Kiriath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), that is, Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, along with its surrounding grazing areas.

12 (Now the city's fields and surrounding towns they had assigned to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his property.)

13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they assigned Hebron (a city of refuge for one who committed manslaughter), Libnah,

14 Jattir, Eshtemoa,

15 Holon, Debir,

16 Ain, Juttah, and Beth Shemesh, along with the grazing areas of each--a total of nine cities taken from these two tribes.
