1 The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the
children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in
the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah. 2 They had for
their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, 3 and Hazar Shual, and
Balah, and Ezem, 4 and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, 5 and Ziklag,
and Beth Marcaboth, and Hazar Susah, 6 and Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen;
thirteen cities with their villages: 7 Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan;
four cities with their villages: 8 and all the villages that were round
about these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their
families. 9 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance
of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too
much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst
of their inheritance. 10 The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun
according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was to
Sarid; 11 and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached
to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam; 12 and
it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth
Tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia; 13 and from
there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out
at Rimmon which stretches to Neah; 14 and the border turned about it on
the north to Hannathon; and the goings out of it were at the valley of Iphtah
El; 15 and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem:
twelve cities with their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the
children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their
villages. 17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children
of Issachar according to their families. 18 Their border was to Jezreel,
and Chesulloth, and Shunem, 19 and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,
20 and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez, 21 and Remeth, and Engannim, and
En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez, 22 and the border reached to Tabor, and
Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the goings out of their border were at the
Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This is the inheritance of
the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities
with their villages. 24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the
children of Asher according to their families. 25 Their border was
Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 26 and Allammelech, and Amad,
and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;
27 and it turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun,
and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek and Neiel; and it went
out to Cabul on the left hand, 28 and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and
Kanah, even to great Sidon; 29 and the border turned to Ramah, and to the
fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out of
it were at the sea by the region of Achzib; 30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and
Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages. 31 This is the inheritance
of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these
cities with their villages. 32 The sixth lot came out for the children of
Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.
33 Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and
Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum; and the goings out of it were at the
Jordan; 34 and the border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out
from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to
Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise. 35 The
fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,
36 and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 37 and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En
Hazor, 38 Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth-shemesh;
nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities
with their villages. 40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the
children of Dan according to their families. 41 The border of their
inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, 42 and Shaalabbin, and
Aijalon, and Ithlah, 43 and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron, 44 and
Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, 45 and Jehud, and Bene-berak, and
Gath-rimmon, 46 and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against
Joppa. 47 The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the
children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it
with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called
Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. 48 This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families,
these cities with their villages. 49 So they made an end of distributing
the land for inheritance by the borders of it; and the children of Israel
gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:
50 according to the commandment of Yahweh they gave him the city which he
asked, even Timnathserah in the hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the
city, and lived therein. 51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the
priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers'
houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for
inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the tent of
meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
