12. But the fields and the villages around Kiriath Arba had been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh.

14. Jattir, Eshtemoa,

15. Holon, Debir,

16. Ain, Juttah, and Beth Shemesh, and all the pastures around them. Nine towns were given from these two tribes.

17. They also gave the people of Aaron these cities that belonged to the tribe of Benjamin: Gibeon, Geba,

18. Anathoth, and Almon. They gave them these four towns and the pastures around them.

19. So these thirteen towns with their pastures were given to the priests, who were from the family of Aaron.

20. The other Kohathite family groups of the Levites were given these towns from the tribe of Ephraim:

21. Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim (which was a city of safety), Gezer,

22. Kibzaim, and Beth Horon. There were four towns and their pastures.

23. The tribe of Dan gave them Eltekeh, Gibbethon,
