The descendants of Aaron were Eleazar, Phinehas, Abishua, Bukki, Uzzi,
Zerahiah, Meraioth, Amariah, Ahitub, Zadok, and Ahimaaz.
This is a record of the towns and territory assigned by means of sacred lots
to the descendants of Aaron, who were from the clan of Kohath. This territory included Hebron and its surrounding pasturelands in Judah, but the
fields and outlying areas belonging to the city were given to Caleb son of
Jephunneh. So the descendants of Aaron were given the following towns,
each with its pasturelands: Hebron (a city of refuge), Libnah, Jattir, Eshte
moa, Holon, Debir, Ain, Jutt ah, and Beth-shemesh. And from the territory
of Benjamin they were given Gibeon, Geba, Alemeth, and Anathoth, each

Aaron. The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten towns from the
