Joshua 19:1-51

19  And the second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon clan by clan; and their estate was in the middle of the estate of the sons of Judah. 2  And they had in their estate Beer-Shebaʽ and Shemaʽ and Moladah 3  and Hasar-Shuʽal and Balah and ʽEsem 4  and Eltolad and Bethul and Hormah 5  and Siklag and Beth-ham-Marcaboth and Hasar-Susah 6  and Beth-Lebaoth and Sharuhen, thirteen cities and their villages, 7  ʽEn-Rimmon and Token and ʽEther and ʽAshan, four cities and their villages, 8  and all the villages round these cities to Baʽalath-Beer, Ramath-Negeb. This was the estate of the tribe of the sons of Simeon clan by clan. 9  The estate of the sons of Simeon was out of the pale of the sons of Judah, because the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them and the sons of Simeon were assigned part in the middle of their estate. 10 * And the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun clan by clan; and the boundary of their estate reached to Sarid. 11  And their boundary went up westward and to Marealah, and came against Dabbesheth, and came up to the arroyo alongside Jokneʽam; 12 * and going back, from Sarid eastward, toward the sunrise along the boundary of Kisloth-Tabor and out to the Daberath and up to Japhiaʽ, 13 * and from there over eastward, sunriseward, to Gath Hepher, to ʽEth-Kasin, and out to Rimmonah and curving to the Neʽah, 14  and the boundary went round it to the north of Hannathon, and its termination was at Iphtah-El Valley. 15  And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Beth-Lehem, twelve cities and their villages. 16  This was the estate of the sons of Zebulun clan by clan, these cities and their villages. 17  And for Issacar the fourth lot came out, for the sons of Issacar clan by clan; 18 * and their boundary was at Jezreʽel and the Kesulloth and Shunem 19  and Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharah 20  and the Rabbith and Kishjon and Ebes 21  and Remeth and ʽEn-Gannim and ʽEn-Haddah and Beth-Passes; 22  and the boundary came against Tabor and Shahasimah and Beth-Shemesh, and the termination of their boundary was at the Jordan: sixteen cities and their villages. 23  This was the estate of the tribe of the sons of Issacar clan by clan, the cities and their villages. 24  And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the sons of Asher clan by clan; 25  and their boundary was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Acshaph 26 * and Alammelec and ʽAdʽad and Mishal, and came against Carmel at the sea and against Shihor-Libnath, 27  and went back east to Beth-Dagon, and came against Zebulun and the north side of Iphtah-El Valley; and the boundary came to Beth-ha-ʽEmek and Neʽiel and went out to Cabul on the left, 28  and ʽEbron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, to great Sidon; 29 * and the boundary went back to the Ramah and clear to the fortress-spring of Tyre; and the boundary went back to Hosah, and its termination was at the sea; and Mahalab and Aczib 30  and ʽUmmah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two cities and their villages. 31  This was the estate of the tribe of the sons of Asher clan by clan, these cities and their villages. 32  And for the sons of Naphtali the sixth lot came out, for the sons of Naphtali clan by clan; 33  and their boundary was from Heleph, from the Besaʽannim Oak, and Adami-han-Nekeb and Jabneel to Lakkum, and its termination was at the Jordan; 34 * and the boundary went back westward to Aznoth-Tabor and out from there to Hukkok, and came against Zebulun on the south and against Asher on the west and against the Jordan swamp on the east. 35 * And the side fortified cities, Ser and Hammath-Rakkath and Kinnereth 36  and Adamah and the Ramah and Hasor 37  and Kedesh and Edreʽi and ʽEn-Hasor 38  and Iron and Migdal-El-Horem and Beth-ʽAnath and Beth-Shemesh, nineteen cities and their villages. 39  This was the estate of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali clan by clan, the cities and their villages. 40  For the tribe of the sons of Dan clan by clan the seventh lot came out; 41 * and the boundary of their estate was Soreah and Eshtaol and ʽIr-Shemesh 42  and Shaʽalbin and Aijalon and Ithlah 43  and Elon and Timnathah and ʽEkron 44  and Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baʽalath 45  and Jehud and Bene-Berak and Gath-Rimmon 46 * and Jarkon Water and the Rakkon, together with the boundary, fronting Joppa. 47  This was the estate of the tribe of the sons of Dan clan by clan, these cities and their villages. And the sons of Dan did not crowd out the Amorites who carried on hostilities with them in the highland, and the Amorites did not let them get down to the vale and made the territory of their share too cramped for them; and the sons of Dan went up and attacked Leshem and took it and massacred its people and took possession of it and settled there, and named Leshem “Dan” after their father Dan. 48 * And the Amorites persisted in living in Aijalon and in Shaʽalbin; but the hand of Ephraim grew heavy on them and they became subject to forced labor. 49  And they finished having the country assigned boundary by boundary; and the sons of Israel gave Joshuaʽ the son of Nun an estate in their central part; 50  by Jehovah’s direction they gave him the city he asked for, Timnath-Heres in the highland of Ephraim, and he fortified the city and lived in it. 51  These are the estates Priest Eleazar and Joshuaʽ the son of Nun and the heads of families of the tribes of the sons of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh before Jehovah at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing the country.
