JOSHUA 21:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.”
And to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the slayer, with its pasturelands, Libnah with its pasturelands — Libnah ('whiteness,' possibly from its white limestone) continues the priestly allocation. The mention of Hebron as 'city of refuge for the slayer' shows that refuge and priestly functions coexist in the same city.
