Simeon's Territory

1And 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.

2And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

3And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Ezem,

4And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

5And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,

6And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:

7Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:

8And 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.

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 had their inheritance within their inheritance.

Zebulun's Territory

10And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:

11And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and reached to the brook that is east of Jokneam;

12And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sun rising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goes out to Daberath, and then up to Japhia.

13And from there passes on along on the east to Gathhepher, to Ethkazin, and goes on to Remmon and bends toward Neah;

14And the border went around to the north side of Hannathon: and ends in the valley of Iphtahel:

15And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

16This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Issachar's Territory

17And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.

18And their border went to Jezreel, and included Chesulloth, and Shunem,

19And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,

20And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez,

21And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;

22And the border reaches to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Bethshemesh; and the end of their border was 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.

Asher's Territory

24And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

25And their territory included Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

26And Alammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and reaches to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

27And turns toward the sun rising to Bethdagon, and reaches to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and continues to Cabul on the left,

28And Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto greater Sidon;

29And then the border turns to Ramah, and to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turns to Hosah; and the end is at the sea by the region of Achzib:

30Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: 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.

Naphtali's Territory

32The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

33And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and it ended at the Jordan:

34And then the border turns westward to Aznothtabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, and reaches to Zebulun on the south side, and reaches to Asher on the west side, and to Judah by the Jordan toward the sun rising.

35And the fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

36And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

37And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,

38And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; 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.

Dan's Territory

40And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

41And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,

42And Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,

43And Elon, and Thimnah, and Ekron,

44And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

45And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,

46And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the region near Japho.

47And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond these: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and 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.

The Inheritance to Joshua

49When they had finished dividing the land for inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

50According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city for which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

51These 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 meeting. So they finished dividing the country.
