1 Chronicles 6:57
55 They were given Hebron in the land of Judah and its surrounding pasturelands.
56 But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh.
So the descendants of Aaron were given Hebron (a city of refuge), Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa,
58 Hilen, Debir,
59 Ashan, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, together with their pasturelands.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
