⁸ And all the villages that were near these cities to Baalath-beer, 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 their inheritance.

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

¹¹ Their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam.

¹² It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising to the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goes out to Daberath, and goes up to Japhia,

¹³ From there it passed on along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goes out to Remmon-methoar to Neah.

¹⁴ And the border goes around it on the north side to Hannathon: and it ends in the valley of Jipthah-el:

¹⁵ 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 The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.

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

²⁵ Their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

²⁶ Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath;

²⁷ It turned toward the sun rising to Beth-dagon, and reached Zebulun, and to the valley of Jipthah-el toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goes out to Cabul on the left hand,

²⁸ Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, to great Zidon;

²⁹ The boundary turned to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and then the boundary turned to Hosah; it ended at the sea near Achzib.

³⁰ Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-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 to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

³³ Their boundary was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakum; and it ended at Jordan.

³⁴ Then the boundary turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, 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 upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

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

⁴¹ The boundary of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,

⁴² Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

⁴³ Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

⁴⁴ Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

⁴⁵ Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,

⁴⁶ And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.

⁴⁷ The boundary of the children of Dan went too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, put it to the sword and occupied it. They lived there 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 boundaries, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

⁵⁰ According to the word of Jehovah they gave him the city that he requested, Timnathserah on mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and lived there.

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 Jehovah, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they finished dividing the country.
