Según la Torá, Hebron era un hijo de Kohath y nieto de Levi, siendo por consiguiente el hermano de Amram y tío de Aaron, Miriam y Moses. Hebron es retratado en el texto como el fundador del clan hebronita de levitas; sin embargo, en algunas ocasiones, el Libro de las Crónicas trata a los hebronitas como distintos de los descendientes de Kohath.
“And Sarah’s life got to be a hundred and twenty-seven years long. They were the years of Sarah’s life. So Sarah died in Kir´i·ath-ar´ba, that is to say, He´bron, in the land of Ca´naan, and Abraham came in to bewail Sarah and to weep over her.”
“And after that Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Mach·pe´lah in front of Mam´re, that is to say, He´bron, in the land of Ca´naan. Thus the field and the cave that was in it became confirmed to Abraham for the possession of a burial place at the hands of the sons of Heth.”
“At length Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mam´re, to Kir´i·ath-ar´ba, that is to say, He´bron, where Abraham and also Isaac had resided as aliens. And the days of Isaac came to be a hundred and eighty years. After that Isaac expired and died and was gathered to his people, old and satisfied with days, and E´sau and Jacob his sons buried him.”
