| 1 And 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 And they had for
their inheritance Beer-sheba, 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 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to
their families; and the border of their inheritance was unto 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 sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor; and it
went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia; 13 and from thence it passed
along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which
stretcheth unto Neah; 14 and the border turned about it on the north to
Hannathon; and the goings out thereof 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 And their border was unto 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 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher
according to their families. 25 And 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 Shihor-libnath; 27 and it turned toward
the sunrising 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 unto 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 thereof were at the
sea by the region of Achzib; 30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty
and 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 And their border was
from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, unto
Lakkum; and the goings out thereof were at the Jordan; 34 and the border
turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from thence 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 sunrising. 35 And 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 And 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 And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and
Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh, 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 And 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 smote it with the edge of
the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt 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 thereof; 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
Jehovah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in the
hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt 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
Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing
the land.
