JOSHUA 21:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.”
(these went to the families of the Kohathites who were the descendants of Aaron, for the lot fell to them first) — Hebron in the hill country of Judah — Hebron, patriarch Abraham's burial site (Genesis 23:19), becomes a priestly city. Its designation as a city of refuge (Joshua 20:7) combines priestly and judicial functions. The notation that Aaron's line receives the lot 'first' affirms priestly priority in covenant distribution.
