The other Kohathite family groups of the Levites were given these towns from the tribe of Ephraim:
Bukki was Abishua’s son. Uzzi was Bukki’s son. Zerahiah was Uzzi’s son.
Some of the Kohath family groups received towns and pastures from the tribe of Ephraim.
So these thirteen towns with their pastures were given to the priests, who were from the family of Aaron.
The other family groups of Kohath were given ten towns in the areas of Ephraim, Dan, and West Manasseh.
