I Chronicles 6:55 (2026) – And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof round about it. [cf. v. 57 – And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of Judah, namely, Hebron, the city of refuge, and Libnah with her suburbs, and Jattir, and Eshtemoa, with their suburbs; v. 58 – And Hilen with her suburbs, Debir with her suburbs; v. 59 – And Ashan with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with her suburbs; v. 60 – And out of the tribe of Benjamin; Geba with her suburbs, and Alemeth with her suburbs, and Anathoth with her suburbs. All their cities throughout their families were thirteen cities. v. 64 – And the children of Israel gave to the Levites these cities with their suburbs. v. 67 – And they gave unto them, of the cities of refuge, Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs; they gave also Gezer with her suburbs; v. 68 – And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs; v. 69 – And Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; v. 70 – And out of the half tribe of Manasseh; Aner with her suburbs, and Bileam with her suburbs, for the family of the remnant of the sons of Kohath. v. 71 – Unto the sons of Gershom were given out of the family of the half tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, and Ashtaroth with her suburbs; v. 72 – And out of the tribe of Issachar; Kedesh with her suburbs, Daberath with her suburbs; v. 73 – And Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs; v. 74 – And out of the tribe of Asher; Mashal with her suburbs, and Abdon with her suburbs; v. 75 – And Hukok with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; v. 76 – And out of the tribe of Naphtali; Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, and Hammon with her suburbs, and Kirjathaim with her suburbs. v. 77 – Unto the rest of the children of Merari were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmon with her suburbs, Tabor with her suburbs; v. 78 – And on the other side Jordan by Jericho, on the east side of Jordan, were given them out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer in the wilderness with her suburbs, and Jahzah with her suburbs; v. 79 – Kedemoth also with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; v. 80 – And out of the tribe of Gad; Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, and Mahanaim with her suburbs; v. 81 – And Heshbon with her suburbs, and Jazer with her suburbs. Num. 35:3-5 – And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. [John Gill comments that Jewish writers understand this to be two areas – one thousand cubits outward from the city walls for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts, and two thousand cubits outward from the one thousand cubits, which would be for "gardens, orchards, fields, and vineyards."]]
