[1] The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of Simeon, according
to its families; and its inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of

thirteen cities with their villages; [7] En-rimmon, Ether, and Ashan--four
cities with their villages; [8] together with all the villages round about
these cities as far as Ba'alath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the
inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to its families. [9] The
inheritance of the tribe of Simeon formed part of the territory of Judah;
because the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them, the tribe
of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. [10]
The third lot came up for the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families.
And the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid; [11] then its
boundary goes up westward, and on to Mar'eal, and touches Dab'besheth, then

boundary turns about to Han'nathon, and it ends at the valley of Iph'tahel;
[15] and Kattath, Nahal'al, Shimron, I'dalah, and Bethlehem--twelve cities
with their villages. [16] This is the inheritance of the tribe of Zeb'ulun,
according to its families--these cities with their villages. [17] The
fourth lot came out for Is'sachar, for the tribe of Is'sachar, according to
its families. [18] Its territory included Jezreel, Chesul'loth, Shunem,
[19] Haph'ara-im, Shion, Ana'harath, [20] Rabbith, Kish'ion, Ebez, [21]
Remeth, En-gan'nim, En-had'dah, Beth-paz'zez; [22] the boundary also
touches Tabor, Shahazu'mah, and Beth-she'mesh, and its boundary ends at the
Jordan--sixteen cities with their villages. [23] This is the inheritance of
the tribe of Is'sachar, according to its families--the cities with their
villages. [24] The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher according to
its families. [25] Its territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Ach'shaph,
[26] Allam'melech, Amad, and Mishal; on the west it touches Carmel and
Shihor-lib'nath, [27] then it turns eastward, it goes to Beth-dagon, and
touches Zeb'ulun and the valley of Iph'tahel northward to Beth-emek and
Nei'el; then it continues in the north to Cabul, [28] Ebron, Rehob, Hammon,
Kanah, as far as Sidon the Great; [29] then the boundary turns to Ramah,
reaching to the fortified city of Tyre; then the boundary turns to Hosah,
and it ends at the sea; Mahalab, Achzib, [30] Ummah, Aphek and
Rehob--twenty-two cities with their villages. [31] This is the inheritance
of the tribe of Asher according to its families--these cities with their
villages. [32] The sixth lot came out for the tribe of Naph'tali, for the
tribe of Naph'tali, according to its families. [33] And its boundary ran
from Heleph, from the oak in Za-anan'nim, and Ad'ami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as
far as Lakkum; and it ended at the Jordan; [34] then the boundary turns
westward to Az'noth-tabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zeb'ulun
at the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah on the east at the Jordan.
[35] The fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chin'nereth,
[36] Ad'amah, Ramah, Hazor, [37] Kedesh, Ed're-i, En-ha'zor, [38] Yiron,
Mig'dal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-she'mesh-- nineteen cities with
their villages. [39] This is the inheritance of the tribe of Naph'tali
according to its families--the cities with their villages. [40] The seventh
lot came out for the tribe of Dan, according to its families. [41] And the
territory of its inheritance included Zorah, Esh'ta-ol, Ir-she'mesh, [42]

Gib'bethon, Ba'alath, [45] Jehud, Bene-be'rak, Gath-rim'mon, [46] and
Me-jar'kon and Rakkon with the territory over against Joppa. [47] When the
territory of the Danites was lost to them, the Danites went up and fought
against Leshem, and after capturing it and putting it to the sword they
took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the
name of Dan their ancestor. [48] This is the inheritance of the tribe of
Dan, according to their families--these cities with their villages. [49]
When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as
inheritances, the people of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua
the son of Nun. [50] By command of the LORD they gave him the city which he
asked, Tim'nath-se'rah in the hill country of E'phraim; and he rebuilt the
city, and settled in it. [51] These are the inheritances which Elea'zar the
priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of
the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot at Shiloh before the
LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the
land.
