on 1 Chronicles 6:54-60

The priests receive Hebron first, a city of refuge already bound to Caleb's conquest in Joshua, its fields kept for Caleb's own family while the town and its suburbs went to Aaron's sons. Twelve more towns across Judah, Simeon and Benjamin round out the priests' thirteen cities, a roster Gill sets beside Joshua 21 and finds matching with only a few names spelled differently.
