דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק מ׳

The city of Hebron was granted to the Levites through a specific process. The city was chosen for them by the casting of lots, with this portion of land drawn directly from the territory belonging to the tribe of Judah, a detail that becomes clearer later in the biblical account [חומת אנך].

The grant provided to the Levites went beyond the built-up urban center. Along with the city itself, they were also given the surrounding open fields and empty spaces that bordered the town [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
