6The children of Gershon by their families were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh which was in Bashan.
7The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.
8All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.
9From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:
10These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.
11They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.
12But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.
