Joshua 21:11–42

11 lAnd they gave them ||the city of Arba the father of mAnak, which city is Hebron, nin the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it. 12 But othe fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest pHebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and qLibnah with her suburbs, 14 And rJattir with her suburbs, and sEshtemoa with her suburbs, 15 And ||Holon with her suburbs, and tDebir with her suburbs, 16 And ||Ain with her suburbs, and uJuttah with her suburbs, and xBeth-shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those ytwo tribes. 17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, zGibeon with her suburbs, ||Geba with her suburbs, 18 aAnathoth with her suburbs, and ||Almon with her suburbs; four cities. 19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

20 bAnd the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. 21 For they gave them cShechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and dGezer with her suburbs, 22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and eBeth-horon with her suburbs; four cities. 23 And out of the tribe of Dan, fEltekeh with her suburbs, fGibbethon with her suburbs, 24 gAijalon with her suburbs, hGath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities. 25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, iTanach with her suburbs, and jGath-rimmon with her suburbs; two cities. 26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.

27 kAnd unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave lGolan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and mBeesh-terah with her suburbs; two cities. 28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, nKishon with her suburbs, oDabareh with her suburbs, 29 pJarmuth with her suburbs, qEn-gannim with her suburbs; four cities. 30 And out of the tribe of Asher, rMishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs, 31 sHelkath with her suburbs, and tRehob with her suburbs; four cities. 32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, uKedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and wHammoth-dor with her suburbs, and xKartan with her suburbs; three cities. 33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

34 yAnd unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, zJokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs, 35 Dimnah with her suburbs, aNahalal with her suburbs; four cities. 36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, bBezer with her suburbs, and cJahazah with her suburbs, 37 dKedemoth with her suburbs, and dMephaath with her suburbs; four cities. 38 And out of the tribe of Gad, eRamoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and fMahanaim with her suburbs, 39 gHeshbon with her suburbs, hJazer with her suburbs; four cities in all. 40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities. 41 iAll the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs. 42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
