1 Chronicles 6:56 In-Context

54 Here were the places where they settled. They were given to them as their territory. Some were given to the children of Aaron who were from the family group of Kohath. They were given out by using lots. The first lot was for Kohath.

55 The Kohathites were given Hebron in Judah. They also received the grasslands that were around Hebron.

56 But the fields and villages that were around the city were given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

57 So the people in the family line of Aaron received Hebron. It was a city where people could go for safety. Aaron's family line received Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa,

58 Hilen and Debir.
