“1 And 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. 2 And
they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, 3 And
Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem, 4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah, 6 And Bethlebaoth, and
Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages: 7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether,
and Ashan; four cities and their villages: 8 And 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. 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 the inheritance of them.”
“10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to
their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: 11
And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to
Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam; 12 And
turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of
Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to
Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah; 14 And the border
compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof
are in the valley of Jiphthahel: 15 And 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 [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of
Issachar according to their families. 18 And their border was toward
Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, 19 And Hapharaim, and Shion, and
Anaharath, 20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, 21 And Remeth, and
Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez; 22 And the coast reacheth to
Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their
border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This [is]
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to
their families, the cities and their villages.”
“24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher
according to their families. 25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali,
and Beten, and Achshaph, 26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and
reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath; 27 And turneth toward
the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley
of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth
out to Cabul on the left hand, 28 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and
Kanah, [even] unto great Zidon; 29 And [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: 30 Ummah
also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and 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 out to the children of Naphtali, [even] for the
children of Naphtali according to their families. 33 And their coast was
from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel,
unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: 34 And [then] the
coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, 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. 35 And
the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and
Chinnereth, 36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 37 And Kedesh, and
Edrei, and Enhazor, 38 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and
Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This [is] the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their
families, the cities and their villages.”
“40 [And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of
Dan according to their families. 41 And the coast of their inheritance
was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, 42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon,
and Jethlah, 43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, 44 And Eltekeh, and
Gibbethon, and Baalath, 45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon, 46
And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. 47 And 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. 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 coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the
son of Nun among them: 50 According to the word of the LORD they gave
him the city which he asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and
he built the city, and dwelt therein. 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 the LORD, at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the
country.” (Joshua 19:1-51 AV)
