9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name 10 (these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):

11 They gave them Kiriath Arbad (that is, Hebrone), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.) 12 But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.f

17 And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon,p Geba,q 18 Anathothr and Almon, together with their pasturelands—four towns.

19 The total number of townss for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.t
