Joshua 21:9-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.

19. All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common-lands.

20. And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, the rest of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot from the tribe of Ephraim.

21. For they gave them Shechem with its common-land in the mountains of Ephraim (a city of refuge for the slayer), Gezer with its common-land,

22. Kibzaim with its common-land, and Beth Horon with its common-land: four cities;

23. and from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with its common-land, Gibbethon with its common-land,
