Joshua 19

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 Beer–sheba, Sheba, and Moladah,

³And Hazar–shual, and Balah, and Azem,

⁴And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

⁵And Ziklag, and Beth–marcaboth, and Hazar–susah,

⁶And Beth–lebaoth, 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 Baalath–beer, 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 part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

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 Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;

¹²And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth–tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,

¹³And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah–hepher, to Ittah–kazin, and goeth out to Remmon–methoar to Neah;

¹⁴And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah–el:

¹⁵And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth–lehem: twelve cities with their villages.

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

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

¹⁸And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,

¹⁹And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,

²⁰And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

²¹And Remeth, and En–gannim, and En–haddah, and Beth–pazzez;

²²And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth–shemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at 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.

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

²⁵And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

²⁶And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihor–libnath;

²⁷And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth–dagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah–el toward the north side of Beth–emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,

²⁸And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;

²⁹And 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:

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.

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

³³And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

³⁴And then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth–tabor, 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.

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

³⁶And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

³⁷And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En–hazor,

³⁸And Iron, and Migdal–el, Horem, and Beth–anath, and Beth–shemesh; 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.

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

⁴¹And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir–shemesh,

⁴²And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

⁴³And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

⁴⁴And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

⁴⁵And Jehud, and Bene–berak, and Gath–rimmon,

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

⁴⁷And 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.

⁴⁸This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

⁴⁹When 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:

⁵⁰According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath–serah 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 the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

Joshua 19

¹And the second heritage came out for the tribe of Simeon by their families; and their heritage was in the middle of the heritage of the children of Judah.

²And they had for their heritage Beer-sheba and Shema and Moladah

³And Hazar-shual and Balah and Ezem

⁴And Eltolad and Bethul and Hormah

⁵And Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah

⁶And Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen towns with their unwalled places;

⁷Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan; four towns with their unwalled places;

⁸And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.

⁹The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.

¹⁰And the third heritage came out for Zebulun by their families; the limit of their heritage was as far as Sarid;

¹¹And their limit goes up to the west to Maralah, stretching to Dabbesheth, and to the stream in front of Jokneam;

¹²Then turning east from Sarid to the limit of Chisloth-tabor, it goes out to Daberath, and up to Japhia;

¹³And from there it goes on east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; ending at Rimmon which goes as far as Neah;

¹⁴And the line goes round it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the valley of Iphtah-el;

¹⁵And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Beth-lehem; twelve towns with their unwalled places.

¹⁶This is the heritage of the children of Zebulun by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

¹⁷For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families;

¹⁸And their limit was to Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem

¹⁹And Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharath

²⁰And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez

²¹And Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez;

²²And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

²³This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Issachar by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

²⁴And the fifth heritage came out for the tribe of Asher by their families.

²⁵And their limit was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph

²⁶And Alammelech and Amad and Mishal, stretching to Carmel on the west and Shihor-libnath;

²⁷Turning to the east to Beth-dagon and stretching to Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el as far as Beth-emek and Neiel to the north; on the left it goes as far as Cabul

²⁸And Ebron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, to great Zidon;

²⁹And the limit goes round to Ramah and the walled town of Tyre and Hosah, ending at the sea by Heleb and Achzib;

³⁰And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two towns with their unwalled places.

³¹This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Asher by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

³²For the children of Naphtali the sixth heritage came out, for the children of Naphtali by their families;

³³And their limit was from Heleph, from the oak-tree in Zaanannim, and Adami-hannekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, ending at Jordan;

³⁴And turning west to Aznoth-tabor, the limit goes out from there to Hukkok, stretching to Zebulun on the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah at Jordan on the east.

³⁵And the walled towns are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth

³⁶And Adamah and Ramah and Hazor

³⁷And Kedesh and Edrei and En-Hazor

³⁸And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places.

³⁹This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Naphtali by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

⁴⁰For the tribe of Dan by their families the seventh heritage came out;

⁴¹And the limit of their heritage was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh

⁴²And Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah

⁴³And Elon and Timnah and Ekron

⁴⁴And Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath

⁴⁵And Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon;

⁴⁶And on the west was ... opposite Joppa.

⁴⁷(But the limit of the children of Dan was not wide enough for them; so the children of Dan went up and made war on Leshem and took it, putting it to the sword without mercy, and they took it for their heritage and made a place for themselves there, giving it the name of Leshem-dan, after the name of their father, Dan.)

⁴⁸This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Dan by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

⁴⁹So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them;

⁵⁰By the orders of the Lord they gave him the town for which he made request, Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim: there, after building the town, he made his living-place.

⁵¹These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.
