7 aThe children of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.
8 aAnd the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, bas the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
9 So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,
10 which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.
11 aAnd they gave them1 Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of bAnak), cwhich is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.
