Joshua 19
1And then came forth the second lot for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. 2And they obtained in their inheritance Beer-sheba’, or Sheba’, and Moladah, 3And Chazar-shu’al, and Balah, and ‘Ezem, 4And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Chormah, 5And Ziklag, and Beth-hamarcaboth, and Chazar-sussah, 6And Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuchen: thirteen cities and their villages. 7‘Ayin, Rimmon, and ‘Ether, and ‘Ashan; four cities and their villages. 8And all the villages that were round about these cities up to Ba’alath-beer, South Ramah. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. 9Out of the portion 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 obtained their inheritance within their inheritance. 10And then came up the third lot for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance extended up to Sarid; 11And their boundary went up toward the sea, and Mar’alah, and touched on Dabbesheth, and touched on the brook that is before Yokne’am; 12And turned from Sarid eastward toward the rising of the sun unto the border of Kisloth-tabor, and then went out to Daberath, and went up to Yaphia’; 13And from there it passed on in front to the east unto Gath-Chepher, to ‘Eth-kazin, and went out to Rimmon, whence it extended to Ne’ah; 14And this boundary turned about on the north side to Channathon; and its terminations were in the valley of Yiph-thach-el; 15And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Yidalah, and Beth-lechem: twelve cities with their villages. 16This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. 17For Issachar came out the fourth lot, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18And their boundary went to Yizre’el, and Kessulloth, and Shunem, 19And Chapharayim, and Shion, and Anacharath, 20And Rabbith, and Kishyon, and Abez, 21And Remeth, and ‘En-gannim, and ‘En-chaddah, and Beth-pazazz; 22And the boundary touched on Tabor, and Shachazimah, and Beth-shemesh; and the terminations of their boundaries were at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages. 24And then came out the fifth lot for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 25And their boundary was Chelkath, and Chali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 26And Allammelech, and ‘Am’ad, and Mishal; and it touched on Carmel at the sea, and on Shichor-libnath; 27And it turned toward the rising of the sun to Beth-dagon, and touched on Zebulun, and on the valley of Yiphthach-el at the north, on Beth-ha’emek, and Ne’iel, and went out to Cabul on the left, 28And ‘Ebron, and Rechob, and Chammon, and Kanah, up to Zidon the great city, 29And then the boundary turned back to Ramah, and to the city of Mibzar-zor; and then the boundary turned back to Chossah; and the terminations were by the sea in the district toward Achzib; 30And ‘Ummah and Aphek, and Rechob: twenty and two cities with their villages. 31This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. 32Unto the children of Naphtali came out the sixth lot, for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33And their boundary was from Cheleph, from Allon-beza-’anannim, and Adami-hanekeb, and Yabneel, as far as Lakkum; and its terminations were at the Jordan; 34And then the boundary turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from there to Chukkok, and touched on Zebulun on the south, and touched on Asher on the west, and on Judah upon the Jordan toward the rising of the sun. 35And fortified cities, Ziddim, Zer, and Chammath, Rakkath, and Kinnereth, 36And Adamah, and Ramah, and Chazor, 37And Kedesh, and Edre’i, and ‘En-chazor, 38And Yiron, and Migdal-el, Chorem, and Beth-’anath, and Beth-shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages. 39This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages. 40For the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families came out of the seventh lot. 41And the boundary of their inheritance was Zor’ah, and Eshtaol, and ‘Ir-shemesh, 42And Sha’alabbin, and Ayalon, and Yithlah, 43And Elon, and Thimnathah, and ‘Ekron, 44And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Ba’alath, 45And Yehud, and Bene-berak, and Gathrimmon. 46And Me-hayarkon, and Rakkon, with the boundary before Yapho. 47And the territory of the children of Dan went out beyond these; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and took possession of it, and dwelt therein, and they called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. 48This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. 49And they made an end of dividing the land for inheritance after its boundaries; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them; 50By the order of the Lord did they give him the city which he had asked, Timnathserach on the mountain of Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein. 51These are the inheritances, which Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the divisions of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot, at Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
