Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon :
for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them :
therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them .
*
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families :
and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid :
*
And their border went up toward the sea ,

And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them :
therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem ,
and took it ,
and smote it with the edge of the sword ,
and possessed it ,
and dwelt therein ,
and called Leshem ,
Dan ,
after the name of Dan their father .
*
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families ,
these cities with their villages .
*
When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts ,
the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them :
*
According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked ,
even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim :
and he built the city ,
and dwelt therein .
*
These are the inheritances ,
which Eleazar the priest ,
and Joshua the son of Nun ,
and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel ,
divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD ,
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
So they made an end of dividing the country .
*
The LORD also spake unto Joshua ,
saying ,
*
Speak to the children of Israel ,
saying ,
Appoint out for you cities of refuge ,
whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses :
*
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither :
and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood .
*
And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city ,
and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city ,
they shall take him into the city unto them ,
and give him a place ,
that he may dwell among them .
*
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him ,
then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand ;
because he smote his neighbour unwittingly ,
and hated him not beforetime .
*
And he shall dwell in that city ,
until he stand before the congregation for judgment ,
and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days :
then shall the slayer return ,
and come unto his own city ,
and unto his own house ,
unto the city from whence he fled .
*
And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali ,
and Shechem in mount Ephraim ,
and Kirjatharba ,
which is Hebron ,
in the mountain of Judah .
*
And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward ,
they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben ,
and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad ,
and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh .
*
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel ,
and for the stranger that sojourneth among them ,
that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither ,
and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood ,
until he stood before the congregation .
*
Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest ,
and unto Joshua the son of Nun ,
and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel ;
*
And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan ,
saying ,
The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in ,
with the suburbs thereof for our cattle .
*
And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance ,
at the commandment of the LORD ,
these cities and their suburbs .
*
And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites :
and the children of Aaron the priest ,
which were of the Levites ,
had by lot out of the tribe of Judah ,
and out of the tribe of Simeon ,
and out of the tribe of Benjamin ,

*
And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim ,

*
The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben ,
and out of the tribe of Gad ,
and out of the tribe of Zebulun ,

*
And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs ,
as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
*
And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah ,
and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon ,
these cities which are here mentioned by name ,
*
Which the children of Aaron ,
being of the families of the Kohathites ,
who were of the children of Levi ,
had :
for theirs was the first lot .
*
And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak ,
which city is Hebron ,
in the hill country of Judah ,
with the suburbs thereof round about it .
*
But the fields of the city ,
and the villages thereof ,
gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession .
*
Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs ,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Libnah with her suburbs ,
*
And Jattir with her suburbs ,
and Eshtemoa with her suburbs ,
*
And Holon with her suburbs ,
and Debir with her suburbs ,
*
And Ain with her suburbs ,
and Juttah with her suburbs ,
and Bethshemesh with her suburbs ;
nine cities out of those two tribes .
*
And out of the tribe of Benjamin ,
Gibeon with her suburbs ,
Geba with her suburbs ,
*
Anathoth with her suburbs ,
and Almon with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
All the cities of the children of Aaron ,
the priests ,
were thirteen cities with their suburbs .
*
And 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 .
*
For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim ,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Gezer with her suburbs ,
*
And Kibzaim with her suburbs ,
and Bethhoron with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Dan ,
Eltekeh with her suburbs ,
Gibbethon with her suburbs ,
*
Aijalon with her suburbs ,
Gathrimmon with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the half tribe of Manasseh ,
Tanach with her suburbs ,
and Gathrimmon with her suburbs ;
two cities .
*
All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained .
*
And unto the children of Gershon ,
of the families of the Levites ,
out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs ,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Beeshterah with her suburbs ;
two cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Issachar ,
Kishon with her suburbs ,
Dabareh with her suburbs ,
*
Jarmuth with her suburbs ,
Engannim with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Asher ,
Mishal with her suburbs ,
Abdon with her suburbs ,
*
Helkath with her suburbs ,
and Rehob with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Naphtali ,
Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs ,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Hammothdor with her suburbs ,
and Kartan with her suburbs ;
three cities .
*
All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs .
*
And unto the families of the children of Merari ,
the rest of the Levites ,
out of the tribe of Zebulun ,
Jokneam with her suburbs ,
and Kartah with her suburbs ,
*
Dimnah with her suburbs ,
Nahalal with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Reuben ,
Bezer with her suburbs ,
and Jahazah with her suburbs ,
*
Kedemoth with her suburbs ,
and Mephaath with her suburbs ;
four cities .
*
And out of the tribe of Gad ,
Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs ,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Mahanaim with her suburbs ,
*
Heshbon with her suburbs ,
Jazer with her suburbs ;
four cities in all .
*
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 .
*
All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs .
*
These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them :
thus were all these cities .
*
And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers ;
and they possessed it ,
and dwelt therein .
*
And the LORD gave them rest round about ,
according to all that he sware unto their fathers :
and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them ;
the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand .
*
There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel ;
all came to pass .
*
Then Joshua called the Reubenites ,
and the Gadites ,
and the half tribe of Manasseh ,
