Juttah

Juttah was a town in the highlands of Judah, allotted to Judah at the conquest (Joshua 15:55) and given as one of the thirteen Levitical cities to the Kohathite descendants of Aaron — the priests of Israel (Joshua 21:16, 1 Chronicles 6:59). The proper assignment to priestly families is suggestive: Luke 1:39 says Mary "arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah" to visit her relative Elizabeth, who was married to the priest Zechariah.
