1 Chronicles 6:49-57

6:49 But Aaron and his descendants offered sacrifices on the altar for burnt offerings and on the altar for incense as they had been assigned to do in the most holy sanctuary. 1  They made atonement for Israel, just as God’s servant Moses had ordered. 2 

6:50 These were the descendants of Aaron:

His son Eleazar, his son Phinehas, his son Abishua, 6:51 his son Bukki, his son Uzzi, his son Zerahiah, 6:52 his son Meraioth, his son Amariah, his son Ahitub, 6:53 his son Zadok, and his son Ahimaaz.

6:54 These were the areas where Aaron’s descendants lived: 3 

The following belonged to the Kohathite clan, for they received the first allotment: 4 

6:55 They were allotted Hebron in the territory of Judah, as well as its surrounding pasturelands. 6:56 (But the city’s land and nearby towns were allotted to Caleb son of Jephunneh.) 6:57 The descendants of Aaron were also allotted as cities 5  of refuge Hebron, Libnah and its pasturelands, Jattir, Eshtemoa and its pasturelands,

1 tn Heb “for all the work of the holy of holies.”

2 tn Heb “making atonement for Israel according to all which Moses the servant of God commanded.”

3 tn Heb “and these were their dwelling places according to their encampments in their territory to the sons of Aaron.”

4 tn Heb “to the clan of the Kohathites for to them was the lot.”

5 tn The parallel account in Josh 21:13 has the singular “city,” which apparently refers only to Hebron.
