5: The other families of the Kohathite clan were allotted ten towns from the territories of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Shechem (a city of refuge for those who accidentally killed someone), Gezer,
Kibzaim, and Beth-horon--four towns.
The following towns and pasturelands were allotted to the priests from the tribe of Dan: Eltekeh, Gibbethon,
Aijalon, and Gath-rimmon--four towns.

Shechem (a city of refuge in the hill country of Ephraim), Gezer,
Jokmeam, Beth-horon,
Aijalon, and Gath-rimmon.
