Joshua 21:12
But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. (Joshua 21:12)
Fields.
 Literally, “field.” This evidently refers to the country that lay beyond the 2,000 cu. expressed in Num. 35:5. The directions were apparently not specific for Hebron alone, but merely an example of the general rule with regard to all the cities.
