Translation note
The Hebrew is difficult: it says “from the family of the tribe,” without naming it. Joshua 21:5 names here the tribes of Ephraim and Dan besides the half-tribe of Manasseh.
The context
60And from the tribe of Benjamin: Geba with its pasturelands, Alemeth with its pasturelands, and Anathoth with its pasturelands. All their cities: thirteen cities, by their families.
