Contextual Overview

⁹ They gave from the tribe of the descendants of Y'hudah and from the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on these cities here mentioned by name; ¹⁰ they were for the descendants of Aharon, of the families of the K'hati, who were among the descendants of Levi; because theirs was the first lot. ¹¹ They gave them: Kiryat-Arba — this Arba was the father of ‘Anak — (that is, Hevron), in the hills of Y'hudah, with the surrounding open land; ¹² but the fields and villages of the city they gave to Kalev the son of Y'funeh as his possession. ¹³ Thus to the descendants of Aharon the cohen they gave: Hevron with its surrounding open land, already a city of refuge for the killer; Livnah with its surrounding open land; ¹⁴ Yatir with its surrounding open land; Esht'moa with its surrounding open land; ¹⁵ Holon with its surrounding open land; D'vir with its surrounding open land; ¹⁶ ‘Ayin with its surrounding open land, Yutah with its surrounding open land and Beit-Shemesh with its surrounding open land — nine cities out of these two tribes. ¹⁷ Out of the tribe of Binyamin: Giv‘on with its surrounding open land, Geva with its surrounding open land, ¹⁸ ‘Anatot with its surrounding open land and ‘Almon with its surrounding open land — four cities.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
