Joshua 19 The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the descendants of Simeon according to their families. Their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the descendants of Judah.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the descendants of Simeon according to their families. Their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the descendants of Judah. ² And they had for their inheritance Beersheba, 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 En Rimmon, and Token, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages; ⁸ and all the villages that were around these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramath Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon according to their families. ⁹ Out of the part of the descendants of Judah was the inheritance of the descendants of Simeon; for the portion of the descendants of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the descendants of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. ¹⁰ And the third lot came up for the descendants of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was to Sadud. ¹¹ Their border went up westward, and to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and it reached to the wadi that is before Jokneam. ¹² And it turned from Sadud eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor, and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. ¹³ From there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Eth Kazin; and it went out to Rimmon which bends toward Neah. ¹⁴ The border turned around it on the north to Hannathon; and it ended at the Valley of Iphtah El; ¹⁵ Kattath, Nahalal, Shim'on, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. ¹⁶ This is the inheritance of the descendants of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. ¹⁷ The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the descendants of Issachar according to their families. ¹⁸ And their border was to Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, ¹⁹ and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, ²⁰ and Daberath, and Kishion, and Ebez, ²¹ and Remeth, and Engannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. ²² The border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh; and their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. ²³ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages. ²⁴ The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the descendants of Asher according to their families. ²⁵ Their border was from 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 eastward to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Iphtah El on the north. And the border goes north to Beth Emek and Neiel, and it went out to Cabul on the north, ²⁸ and Abdon, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even to Greater Sidon. ²⁹ The border turned to Ramah, to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah, and it ended at the sea; Mahalab, and Achzib, ³⁰ and Acco, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages. ³¹ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. ³² The sixth lot came out for the descendants of Naphtali, even for the descendants of Naphtali according to their families. ³³ Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum. It ended at the Jordan. ³⁴ The border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok. It reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the east. ³⁵ The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth, ³⁶ Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, ³⁷ Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, ³⁸ Yiron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. ³⁹ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages. ⁴⁰ The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the descendants of Dan according to their families. ⁴¹ And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir Shemesh, ⁴² and Shaalbin, and Aijalon, and Jithlah, ⁴³ and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron, ⁴⁴ and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, ⁴⁵ and Jehud, and Azzur, and Bene Berak, and Gath Rimmon, ⁴⁶ and from the sea, Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa. ⁴⁷ And the border of the descendants of Dan slipped out of their control, so the descendants of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and striking it with the sword they took possession of it and dwelt in it, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor. ⁴⁸ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. ⁴⁹ So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun. ⁵⁰ According to the commandment of the LORD, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there. ⁵¹ These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
