1 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for
the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their
inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
2 And
they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
3 And
Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,
4 And
Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 And
Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,
6 And
Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:
7 Ain,
Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:
8 And
all the villages that were round about these cities to
Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the
children of Simeon according to their families.
9 Out
of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of
Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore
the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
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 toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth,
and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;
12 And
turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of
Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
13 And
from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and
goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;
14 And
the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings
thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:
15 And
Kattath, and Nahallal, 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 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar,
for the children of Issachar according to their families.
18 And
their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19 And
Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,
20 And
Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
21 And
Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;
22 And
the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings
of their border were at 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 and 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
Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to
Shihorlibnath;
27 And
turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the
valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth
out to Cabul on the left hand,
28 And
Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;
29 And then the
coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to
Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to 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 to the children of Naphtali, even for
the children of Naphtali according to their families.
33 And
their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and
Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:
34 And then the
coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and
reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side,
and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
35 And
the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and
Chinnereth,
36 And
Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37 And
Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,
38 And
Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with
their villages.
39 This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their
families, the cities and their villages.
40 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe
of the children of Dan according to their families.
41 And
the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,
42 And
Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,
43 And
Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,
44 And
Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
45 And
Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,
46 And
Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
47 And
the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of
Dan went up to fight 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 When
they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the
children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:
50 According
to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah
in mount 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 of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an
inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. So
they made an end of dividing the country.
